Just because these were professional pilots qualified to operate the 777 means nothing in the context of this accident.

It matters not that the aircraft was on an unstable approach and if allowed to continue it would almost certainly lead to landing short of the runway. Which of course it did.

What does matter is the realisation that despite the best technical training available, accidents will occasionally happen where experience has shown it that in some societies, it is well nigh impossible to change years of ingrained hard wired ethnic culture...
