Angry Lion Air - preliminary accident report

http://tinyurl.com/bhzdbdc

here's the tl;dr:

F/O flying VOR approach in IMC
continues below the 465ft MSL (454ft AGL) minimum
at 150ft RA the Captain takes over controls and CONTINUES TO DESCEND
at 20ft RA they finally try to go around.
seconds later they're in the drink

just in case someone needed a reminder why they should never put the family on one of these carriers
