Sunnyjohn... You need to look at the root cause of the accident. Electing to continue an approach to an airport where the weather was below minimums.

The AAIU reported that the captain (31, CPL, 1800 hours total, 1600 hours on type, 25 hours in command on type) was pilot monitoring, the first officer (27, CPL, 539 hours total, 289 hours on type) was pilot flying. Both pilots were certified for CAT I, however, were not certified for CAT II.
Crew pairing clearly was an issue too.
