Turing off the Ground Proximity Warning System means absolutely nothing and have nothing to do with the crash of this aircraft. The aircraft did not hit the ground and most certainly the GPWS could not warn the pilot that it was approaching an object erected 300 feet in its path (in the clouds and fog). There are many warning sounds in the aircraft and since the aircraft is also equip with an altimeter which when correctly set can do the job when TAWS is absent. Since the terrain was not the challenge but rather the weather condition and locating of the runway for a proper approach then turning off TAWS from being a nuance made sense (no harm done here). While this report is good pastime it is certainly not one to raise eyebrows.
With these guys in charge, to me "death is better than taxes". With them at the helm most of us are dead any-which-ways. Speak for yourself cronies, you don't speak for me.
It's a buddie buddie ring thats how we operate and get away. It's about who is who and who knows who. If you get that right you can do anything you like and get away with anything and nothing happens. What a country.
A Captain not in command of his ship is no captain! "...department said it had concluded its probe into the crash. Investigators found poor decision making of the crew as they attempted to descend without seeing the runway was the probable cause..." Probable? Not good enough, if this is the report it is saying nothing!
The weather was bad with low descending fog and clouds a few hundred feet from the ground. mygb fpo airport landing systems (ILS) were not working. The aircraft did not contain adequate quantity of fuel, insufficient to safely divert and to an altinate airport.
The plane should have never left the Nassau Airport in the first place regardless to who order the plane to leave. The pilots were responsible for making the decision and should have refused to go.
All factors directly contributed to the crash, but the pilots are the main cause for going, not because they descended without the runway in sight; they had to descend to locate the runway. I hope this report is not the actual conclusion, it does not make much sense.
Government can never fix this problem or no other problem for that matter. What is the change the thing that is the cause of the problem fix the problem.
Franchise holders are family members and friends of the politicians and their parties. Get rid of all the bus drivers not stopping on the bus stops today and you will have a brand new band of drivers tomorrow doing the same the. The problem is not just the bus drivers alone but the politician and franchise holders.
My last and final rights (before I die) is to see this country governed by qualify professionals (how to awake the sleeping masses) and to remove these childish, rogue, unprofessional, petty and sassy talking gangs from the seats and orbits of power.

Any Captain that is not in charge of his ship is no Captain in the first place. I said all that already and this says it all without calling names...
