Also, was there a reason for going below mins? Out of gas, passenger dying, fire that can't be extinguished, etc.

I've never had it happen either, and can't picture it happening outside of an incapacitated Captain situation. I agree that wrestling controls needs to be avoided at all costs. I have heard one check airman say that after calling "minimums, runway not in sight, missed approach", that the SIC should call "setting climb power" and beyond that, "I've got the airplane" should the PIC continue to not respond. The check airman's opinion was based on my need to assume that the Captain IS incapacitated.
What do you guys think?
