I would like to apologise for comparing this crew with the Korean crew in SFO. I just read the transcript and thought this was a night visual gone bad, when in fact it was a non precision IFR gone bad. A world of difference from a day visual.

The three biggest holes in the Swiss cheeese when it comes to CFIT are:
-Night/darkness
-Non precision
-Terrain

Add what appears to be a weak captain and a FO who did not take proper rest prior to the flight... I'm not impressed, but it is not comparable to Korean.
