reason and logic would dictate that the question has to be answered, “How did CX that was cleared for the visual 28L end up UNDERNEATH United that was cleared for 28R.” Taking into account the facts that they missed actually turning the airplane when they were supposed to, means yes they were distracted. Why? Maybe because they were trying to set up the box for a visual 28L, instead of leaving the ILS 28L and flying it as such? Regardless, they were heads down when they should have been heads up. Flying through the LOC in SFO for 28’s is asking for an in-flight, a tragedy that would have made Asiana’s look minor.
