All I can say is they are very lucky only a few passengers died in this accident.

For those who were quick to blame SFO ATC, I hope you eat your shorts... This was no slam and dunk approach, he was brought in on a 14 mile final!

For those trying to blame Boeing for this, I don't agree.

This comes down to not knowing how the systems works (A/P and A/T), not following your own company's SOP, having a check pilot obviously not doing his job properly and ultimately a Captain trained on the B777 that can't fly his aircraft on a VFR day on a visual approach to a runway without the assistance of auto flight, in other words, manually.
