The only thing the NTSB website shows is here. It contains only the briefest description of the crash, as preliminary reports commonly do. If you have a link to more information or a complete report, please post it.

And I'm not sure why you think the question would be rude, I don't have an ATP. I'd like to, one day (maybe get the ATP-AMEL simultaneously with a type rating in something cool like a DC-3) but as I don't really want to be a professional pilot it's not a priority. I'm not sure how that relates to my reading of the current publicly available information, however. Again, if you have information not posted here, I'd like to see it.

"And I'm not sure why you think the question would be rude, I don't have an ATP."

It could be taken as rude if you thought I was questioning your credibility. Based on your first posts to this thread I thought you had some practical knowledge of commercial flying. But then it became clear (to me) that you didn't. You've confirmed you don't have an ATP. Frankly, I'm glad to hear that because if you did I would be very surprised at your defense of these pilots. What they did on this flight was a series of intentional violations of basic airmanship and flight regulations. There is no excuse, ever, for doing that. That doesn't make this any less a tragedy. But it helps explain why it happened.
