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 !
You're lack of reading of the report is now evident, the malfunction was only evident because the PNF retarded the Power Levers unbeknown to the PF, which resulted in the left roll and subsequent loss of control - So had the PF had absolute control on the 3rd approach and had they still decided to go-around as they did at approx 100ft the accident would not have happened - So you're view of they just bust the minima is wrong! That is a factor.
