Sometimes people simply make bad decisions.

After a string of prior accidents they still get nearly 20 people killed and commit actions worth nearly a billion dollars in damage putting the country at risk in an extremely unstable area of the world ? Because they are complacent and tired ?
Don’t get me wrong. I hold the Captain and crew as accountable as I would hold a surgeon.
If a surgeon performs a procedure and forgets some key step resulting in harm, it doesn’t make any difference how or why the step was skipped. There are no excuses. It is their job, and we depend on them to do it.
But yes...people do make bad decisions. Heck, if we have a B-2 bomber and a error is made by a pilot, crew, or maintenance, you can be out a number of lives and a billion dollars right off the bat.
