when one crew member states" I can't see the runway" @ 150, that is as big of a red flag you are ever going to get.
Nah... The problem is that they didn't go around at 550 feet which is the MDA.

Neither at 500 feet. (FIVE HUNDRED)
Neither at 450 feet.
Neither at 400 feet.
Neither at 350 feet.
Neither at 300 feet.
250 feet. Nothing.
200 feet. Nothing.
150 feet. "I can't see the runway" the F/O says. Change of controls.
100 feet. nothing happens. (ONE HUNDRED)
50 feet. nothing happens. (FIFTY)
(FOURTY)
(THIRTY)
(TWENTY) the captain initiates a go around.
(TEN) (SOUND OF ENGINE SPOOL-UP)
(SOUND OF IMPACT)
