IMO:

We’re not going to find some sort of “obvious smoking gun” in either pilot’s background. So far, on paper, they seem well qualified to be flying a heavy freighter. For reasons I hope we will find out, they made some catastrophically bad decisions on their approach. Rather than saying “eff it ... let’s go around” they were bound and determined to get it on the deck. They succeeded ... in the long run, landing is mandatory ... but in the process caused a disaster.
