The truth is uncomfortable to see isn't it. These are real accidents where circadian low fatigue played a huge part. Some here have been trying to compare CDO's with international flying. Johnso asked (for the purpose of trying to show absurdity) whether it was luck when all the overnight flights land safely.

Every one of these pilots thought they could manage flight operations during their circadian lows. They were wrong.
