I agree too many things bundled up together. About the incident in India which runway are you talking about? Just curiosity as I am from India. Rare but such things (total break down of human machine) do happen once in a blue moon and we land up with such accidents like PIA 8303. There are just too many cognitive biases we all are susceptible and not even aware of. While we as human would consider us as superman but the fact is that we are the weakest link in this human machine interface. Pilots swear by their ability to juggle multiple tasks while flying but the fact is that human as species just can not multitask. Most of the times we are not aware of of our inherent limitations. Juxtaposing this limitation with the scene in side PIA 8303 there is no doubt that the crew would have been mentally saturated by the number of events taking place.
