another case of "Get-down-itus" in unsuitable weather conditions.

Looks like a bad outcome.

Sounds like another tragic case of pilot error, and I'm sure that is the conclusion they'll reach.
The damp weather was probably imparing vision and the fact they flew into a hill suggests very poor visibility.

I have a feeling this could bring about some changes. I mean, it doesn't exactly bode well knowing that ATC didn't pick up on a problem. Pilot error certainly could account for the reason ATC may not have noticed an abnormal altitude... but if they flew through a designated "no-fly" zone... something clearly didn't go according to plan. In any case though, it is not my place to speculate who did what incorrectly, that is the job of the officials. All I can do is offer my condolences and best wishes to those affected by this tragic event.
