That is a factor.
Or one could speculate that if the exact circumstances that led to the crash had occurred at the correct DH, not at the less than 100 feet AGL the aircraft was at at the time of the go around, would it still have crashed ?
Leaving aside the very poor CRM that had the Captain controlling the power levers with the copilot flying, the crew had no control or advance knowledge of the impending power asymmetry. They did have total control and knowledge of the DH though.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
Finally I would like to make one general point aimed specifically at the newer less experienced commercial pilots reading this thread. Sadly the accident record has many examples of aircraft that crashed after busting minimums even when everything was working perfectly. It is just not worth it......
