Friend, SOPs are made taking into consideration human and equipment capabilities to ensure consistent results. When you decide to do something stupid there is no SOP for that and obviously the result is as on that day. You are suggesting in heavy rain with zero visibility they should have flown accurately to hit the runway to touch down point. That would have avoided ditching but aircrafts do crash on land and horribly that too. Anybody suggesting what he should have done below minima is very stupid indeed.
