People, please.
It will never be "culturally acceptable" to fly any serviceable aircraft into the sea.
This accident still looks like criminal negligence and recklessness on behalf of the crew. Sure, there probably were some circumstances which have put the crew into this situation: Bad training. Bad regulatory oversight, etc.
But even then, it is everyone's own bloody responsibility, that when you find out that you have joined an outfit in which things are badly safeguarded for whatever reason: GET OUT. Find another job. Otherwise you will end up getting arrested for having committed criminal negligence and reckless flying.
