Eric, you obviously don't know much about flying or the case. There is a thing called "human factors" in flying. You should read up on the "Orchestrated litany of lies". Why would they lie Eric, if it was all the pilots' fault?
You might have flown for a long time, but length of time does not mean the best expertise.
Simplistically, you could reasonably say it was the fault of the pilot in command. Simpletons think simplistically. Good aviators take a broader view and do not leap to conclusions. Mind sets are a good cause of accidents. By jumping to a conclusion, and having a fixed mind, it's very easy to meet the ground other than wheels first, gently.
In Global Alarmism for example, it's notable that you don't do reasoning, you do dogma, obedience to authority, and checklists. That's good in most conditions where nothing unusual arrives, such as a mountain cloaked in cloud when the company has sent you down the wrong track. Good aviators are strong on thinking too. They don't just run down a checklist and think they are done. I'd fail you as a pilot and your Global Alarmism is crashing into the ground too, failing to remain airborne. The Global Alarmists who have just been rescued at great expense crashed into Antarctica. The world's average temperature is crashing out the bottom of all the GIGO computer models too, failing to stay airborne despite rapidly increasing CO2 which has increased the density of the air which makes flying easier, though the 0.7 degrees Celsius increase will have made take-offs a little more difficult.
The Global Alarmists think simplistically and say "It was the pilot's fault", "CO2 absorbs a couple of wavelengths so it's going to get hotter." Then they stack a whole lot of faulty thinking on top of their mistake.
