This is the latest of many many mountain crashes where the plane deliberately descended below the mountain tops.
With old technolgoy- you were supposed to know your location and the mountain's location. With new technology, you would hopefully see it on a moving map.
It seems so incomprehensible, but it happens- and I posted on another website that it seems there's some Murphy's-Law-Tractor-Beam that sucks aircraft into mountains- even though 1940-era maps and tools and 21st century moving maps and computer integrated navigation should give you the ability to stay away.
Are some of these flights trying for a great view and deliberately flying towards the mountain, and then, when the mountain is obscured, they continue, thinking that the fog will break (and technolgy will protect them)?
What's different between this month and last?
