and the failure of the associated tracking systems. It would also explain sporadic return flights. Then the night observations could be blue-on-blue mis-idents in the poorly controlled 'crime scene' or straight forward suggestibility.
Overall a lack of professionalism in response - that led to considerable upheaval to thousands of the airport customer pax and to their user airlines.
