Who did what well and why very much depends on this.
If MIA had prob fog all night, and noticing the big time difference between the issue of the 2100Z TAF for AD and when the aircraft actually diverted to MIA, if the crew knew about the 2100Z TAF and continued towards AD with MIA as their fallback plan if the fog eventuated then they clearly haven't done a good job and probably don't deserve kudos.
If the crew didn't know about the AD 2100Z TAF then why on earth didn't they know in time to realise that they needed a backup plan before they got into a corner where MIA was their only option? Who flys for several hours without rechecking the destination TAF from time to time?
If MIA never had a fog forecast then the BOM was clearly against them - debates about airmanship and when it is/isn't appropriate to carry alternates aside. The other thing that isn't clear that may impact on this - if the 2100Z TAF said fog - what did the TTF say?
