Default E-190 Crash in Africa

Not sure how this escaped APC attention a few weeks ago. Updated report:

Crash: LAM E190 over Botswana/Namibia on Nov 29th 2013, captain intentionally crashed aircraft

And that's why I will hopefully never fly on any African airline. You should hear the stories from the Boeing instructors that have to go over and train them. Forget suicide, the pilots are scary ability wise.

Is this becoming more and more common? At least with some foreign carriers?

Sad....when I read the initial report, this was my initial thought related to the probable cause.
