I watched the video from august and it seemed like he was below glide path by the red light indications to the left of the runway. Maybe his habit was to fly low glide paths when visual, add some overcast grey skies and then a crane and it's over. Stay on glide path indicators even when visual.
Already in my very basic training, I was taught to never go below a visual approach aid while on a "visual" approach. Only when past the perimeter fence, do I permit myself that and I always call it out. Past the fence, going below the PAPI to land on the threshold. On our local airport, descending below the PAPI indicated approach angle, would put you right at a rocky outcropping on an island just north of the centreline. In Reykjavik, way too close to the rooftops for RWY 01. There is a reason for the aid, use the thing! White, you're all right, red, you're dead!

I don't know if it is the same crew that perished but if they are, I guess it was just another statistic waiting to happen. Below the slope all the way in. Yes, not a big problem at Stuart but bad habits stick well and fast. The next thing you know you are doing it were you can't afford it. And like Mike says below. Why is the co-pilot videoing the landing instead of doing his job. That second seat in the Lear's flight deck is not a VIP seat, it is for a pilot.
