The guy may be a troll, but it does appear that the flight crew used the
wrong runway. When you make such a critical error and kill 49 people,
it's a bit more serious than an average "mistake."


And it does seem to be a "chain of events" in that there were multiple
ways that they may have been able to spot the mistake:
- runway sign
- runway numbers
- DG heading
- 75 ft wide rwy versus 150 ft

Tragic indeed. Prayers for all.
