ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
After dozens of pages of so many experts raising all possible explanations for his accident, it's cristal clear what really happened:
a stupid case of CFIT, nothing more than this.
It was a boysh, criminal negligence on part of this captain to take the risk of descending on an unknow terrain, flying in clouds close to mountains, unnecessarily. Just to show his 'abilities'. Nothing much different than the youngster that just soloed a Cessna 150 e go buzzing over girlfriend's house.
It was not a 'systemic failure', not a complex malfuction, it was just a reckless, complete lack of airmanship, a suicide/murder maneuver.
Unfortunately, for each Capt Sully one hundred Yablontsevs are born. The Russian astronaut medical (as well as many others) are useless to detect potential psichological and psychyatric disfunctions that could develop into dangerous behaviors.
Hope some day we'll be able to detect it as efficiently as sugar or cholesterol levels.
