The spelling is atrocious, go back and rewrite this one.
Regardless of the findings of fact by the court process and the airline cover up involved, this does not and never will alter the cause of the crash. The Captain's decision to fly below minimums in white out conditions to enable his passengers at least some pic taking opportunity was the cause of the crash.

I recall the day this news broke here in Aussie. So sad for all the families & crew that the courts were needed to uncover the truth. The whole process broke many hearts & trust.
Unfortunately, all the courts uncovered was the change of course, and sure the flight weren't advised. It did not cause the accident. What caused the accident was the Captain's decision to descend in whiteout conditions below his set minimums. Despite the cover up facts that were revealed in the court enquiry it remains pilot error and it always will be.
I hope it's not a verbatim report because the spelling is atrocious...
