"I would assume, is a combination of situations and the storm is a decisive factor," said Hagen, who is also the Arctic pilot.
"You've missed a lot of time, experience and knowledge. You make the decisions, of course, that we are going to get you home and in this case, it's just not good enough. "
Hagen said he does not believe that this will change in a way, made flights since it was just a "tragic accident."
"It just shows that mother nature is awesome. You could take one of the most experienced Arctic pilots in the world and yet does not have any importance when colliding with nature. "
