The only hearsay was conditions were rapidly worsening in MIA and both aircraft were committed to that field as they didn't have enough fuel to divert. I would rather land with some viz than be committed to a zero zero landing, this is not about the rules, this is about getting an aircraft on the deck safely, sometimes the rules need to be thrown out...This is a good example of both crews doing what needed to be done... Simple...
