My thoughts exactly ETOPS #89

I'm guessing that a not very proficient pilot was more worried about the electrical failure than flying the airplane and flew (well, gliding due to fuel starvation) into terrain. He should have had enough altitude and avionics to glide the ILS into the airport. It would be difficult (from a human standpoint) to ignore all the failures going on all around you, and fly the airplane on the ILS to the airport.
