I came across this article and this gives an excellent insight of the mistakes that cause accidents and which led to the recent crash on the Australia Day. There is a recent trend of filming such videos and making sensational news out of it but being pilots we know these could have been avoided.
So who is to be blamed for all this and can they be avoided??
If the article is right, and the pilots knew things were amiss, it's probably their fault as they have the final say and the wheel thingy to drive to the crash.
That's basically the law.
Pressures? Human factors? $$$? Yeah, they have influence, but as to how "we" fix it???...enjoy the parlour talk.

I hadreply to the thread yet because it seemed so obvious that I thouhg I was getting it wrong. The pilot is to blame!!! (unless there was a mechanical failure).
All that density altitude and yada-yada is BS. The plane managed to take off and climb well out of ground effect. This plane either took off from the ground with the gear extended (obvious) or from the water, so flying with gear retracted generates less drag. And, even in the worst case, I might understand if the title of the news had been "pilot unable to hold altitude descends and performs water landing", density altitude can't explain that you stall and fall out of the sky.
