Yes but they did have a malfunction. So to me the question is if they had gone missed at the correct DH would they have not lost control even with the malfunction ? There is by no means certainty that this would be the case but I submit there is certainty that starting the miss approach from where he did made a crash inevitable when the engine malfunction occured.

I absolutely agree that there are many lessons here, but deliberately placing the aircraft in such a perilous position made it almost inevitable that any malfunction would doom the aircraft.

So I reiterate my central point. The lesson us pilots should take away from this is Never bust minimums !
