Apparently there were two "duty runways" at that time. One "nominated" by each of the aircraft involved here. Of course there's no such thing as a duty runway at that airport and if you operate there under the misconception there is then you may want to check the regs. Whether or not you approve of it, a pilot can choose to operate on any available runway.

You seem to have a very personal, possibly irrational, emotional investment here which is clouding your judgement regarding the accident.

Maybe the investigation (remember that?) will answer your question. Let's all try to restrain ourselves for long enough to allow the investigators to do their job.

Are you claiming neither of the accident aircraft had made ANY of the required (or additional) radio transmissions? Given the backgrounds of the two pilots this is highly unlikely and a grossly inflammatory accusation of the two, one of whom is no longer able to speak up against you.
