fullforward, and which one of the ‘one hundred Yabs’ are you? If not, then please share with us the 'Sully-like' qualities which will enable you (and us) to avoid such circumstances.
I am surprised that you dare quote having a Captaincy when displaying such weak human factors knowledge and presenting an ill-considered view.
But in mitigation, hindsight is a powerful bias requiring strong self-control when drawing conclusions from limited facts – after the fact.
CFIT appears to be the most likely conclusion – the result. However, until we can understand what led up to this, what influenced the crew’s behaviour, and how they understood the situation at that time, there will be few opportunities for learning and improving safety from the ‘why’ aspects .
Alternatively, with a narrow, self-centred, and biased view there are limited opportunities for learning, other than perhaps how not to present safety conclusions.
