Here's some different/additional information from NJ Star Ledger:

"There were no injuries in the incident involving Continental Flight
1883, a Boeing 757-200 that arrived at 6:31 p.m. Saturday from Orlando,
Fla., with 157 passengers and six crew members aboard."

"Peters [FAA spokesman] said the plane should have landed on Runway 29,
but landed on Taxiway Z, otherwise known as Taxiway Zulu, which is
parallel to the runway."

"Halleran [president of the National Air Traffic Controllers
Association local at Newark Airport] characterized the incident as a
'pretty rare' occurrence. He noted runways and taxiways use different
colors of lighting. 'The controllers did everything correctly,' said
Halleran. 'They listened to the tape' of their communication with the
aircraft afterward."

"Runway 29 is 6,800 feet long and 150 feet wide, while the parallel
Taxiway Zulu is the same length but only 75 feet wide."
