One must not lose sight of the fact, that in this event being discussed, the end result would almost certainly have been vastly different, if there had been terra firma instead of water under the approach path.
The end result would have been another event virtually identical to the Afriqiyah Airbus A330 crash at Tripoli (flight 8U771). Different aircraft, yes - but a final result that would have been little different.
The fact that all pax and crew virtually walked away from this event should not mean that the crash should be treated with less importance than the Afriqiyah crash.
Both events appear to show serious deficiencies in CRM and piloting skills - that have survived training programmes, as well as extensive hour logging, by both the PIC and FO.
