".. the people on the flight deck were morons.... 2 guys refused to acknowledge a problem... "

Whilst other modes of transport CAN stop and have time to think, this crew had just FOUR minutes...or less, and in Test Pilot country.

A test pilot might well have been flying by day, clear of cloud and anticipating the abnormal.

"Morons" is prehaps unreasonably harsh, especially as you have read all the other comments for two years.
