But this wasn't a decent into an operational airfield, it was a air-ground gunnery shoot where the final pass went tragically wrong when a whole host of contributory and aggravating factors combined into an unrecoverable situation.
That makes some sense but I still see nothing here that justifies verbally lynching the pilot, especially since no one knows if he did pull a low G maneuver and even if he did, if it was at all contributory to the unrecoverable situation.

Pointing out those mistakes and factors is far from disrespectful if it prevents a similar occurrence in future; let that be the only good thing to come out of this terrible incident.
Agreed. But implying that factors that MIGHT have contributed to the accident in fact caused the accident and calling for "rage and disbelief" is in my mind "disrespectful," especially if such speculation does not contribute to "prevent a similar occurrence in future" and may even have the opposite effect.
