Double standards? Not at all. What about yourself? I'm simply reacting to your statement that ATC couldn't be at fault, now you go blaming the crew.

Who knows the cause?

What I do know is that I've seen ATC in Lagos create more than one crash...with my very own eyes.

For instance, the Learjet with an engine out making an ILS on 19L. When he was 2 miles out ATC gave a Nigeria Airways B737 clearance to line up!
Which he duly did!!

The Learjet tried to go around, lost it, and pranged into the bush between the runways. Everyone got killed!

Lagos ATC wouldn't land you on a closed runway?
Don't ever bet your life on it.
