bubbers, there are many shades of command and practice, hopefully all with the same objective of safety. However, neither by seeking blame nor making excuse will help improve safety, which from this incident and similar appears to be necessary.

One small move in that direction is for those who hold strong opinions on what they did or will do, could provide details of why and ‘how to’; to describe those aspects which trigger a realisation that an approach needs rescuing and how these aspects are defined and assessed.
An alternative is to consider ‘what if’, to identify the factors which might influence the human for both good and not so good decisions, then defend as best able against the not so good.

In this incident the thread has cited the crew for not making a go-around decision; whereas the alternative view that consciously or unconsciously they decided to continue, may provide greater understanding of the problems.
