Report on the Garuda Intl 737 Landing Crash states that the crash was caused by the pilot.
Several alarms went off in the cockpit as he was landing to fast and ignored all of the alarms. Which then caused the plane to run off the end of the runway.

Talk about idiocy... atleast i think it was

Ridiculous piloting. I wouldn't have done that and I'm hopeless.

What's the point in sophisticated warning systems if the dolt behind the controls is going to ignore them? :-?
