NO professional crew will continue below minima on a VOR approach when the runway is not in sight, even if QNH was forgotten to be set or set incorrectly. ( radio altimeter is still there as crosscheck by the way!).

It is simply not done to give controls to the other crewmember when losing sight of the runway. YOU GO AROUND. That is basic stuff, Surely not even airlines like Lionair who use slavery pilots ( you get that Media? Yes, slave pilots who pay 50000us$ to fly your family, these includes even Captains!!!) are that lacking in professionalism and training to not have any standard on the flightdeck?
There Must have been an alignment of all holes in the swiss cheese like with any accident.
