BBK - aren't you ... just a little bit curious about why this accident happened? Doesn't it seem odd that you have an experienced crew with about 27,000 hours between the three of them and no one noticed they were way below Vref?
BBK - that is my question exactly. I've tried to understand how this could occur ... how absent mechanical failure, which does not so far seem likely from the data provided, these experienced pilots could get into the position they did.

It is seemingly beyond comprehension this could occur in today's world with all the resources (and here experience) available.

It shouldn't be about guilt or necessarily blame - but moreso learning and understanding why and how this could have occurred - in order to help prevent from happening again.
