Well Sadly enough in almost all the crashes reported it is concluded that it was pilot error regardless of who might have done what. Being the maintenance crew or ground setup etc. Since you're the Pilot in Command you're responsible for every action you take while having the aircraft in the air or on the ground. At least,that's how its done over here.
So either way I think those pilots are gonna get it in the end, even if it was a catastrophic and unintentional incident.
