The pilot was acting stupidly—probably helped by fatigue and lack of sleep.

More likely a low IFR time pilot trying to VFR in IFR conditions.

Weather was below minimums, pilot should have diverted. But he was picking up his next passengers there. He decided to get below the clouds to see if he could pick up the runway.

The airport tower was unmanned during those hours. He was only talking to the ATC center, not switched over to tower.
Unreal bad decision in his pushing a bad position.
