Sadly, it will not be the last time we read of crashes involving crazy countries and their poorly-selected and half-trained pilots.
So, are sane countries and their well-selected and fully-trained pilots are immune to such calamities? Afriqiyah captain pushed when receiving GPWS alert, what prevents first world pilot from performing similar feat, e.g. pulling the stick when stall warning goes off?

Sadly, there is nothing new to learn from this accident. It's just a re-hash of previous badly managed and flown flights, that received the final blow from simple and well known illusion.

Even worse, opportunity of re-learning some old lessons that got forgotten will be missed by those ascribing the accident just to awful safety culture in Libya, assuming such-a-thing-can-not-happen-to-oh-so-enlightened-us. Upside of such an attitude is, unlike AF447, this thread won't get much attention from conspiracy theorists trying to deflect the blame from crew to aeroplane, but it's such a terribly small one.
