It might not really be the fault of an airport or procedure, if an airplane on a VOR/DME Approach hits the trees 600 ft below MDA and a few miles out of the Threshold after a continuous descend with Autopilot on.
Visibility was reported to be very bad (ca 1 mile) by a preceding jet, which made the landing, the chance that the Pilots of the unlucky Plane had seen any Approach or Runway Lights is zero. I know, that until the report these are still "speculations", but facing the known facts I find it wrong to blame the airport for this accident.
