BEagle,

One might consider that the NW crew was just slightly fatigued, so made a stupid mistake.
Now it would seem to me that if they indeed were slightly fatigued, all the more reason to use an instrument approach...and not auto-everything is necessary either, hand flown will do nicely.

One has to wonder...why are the same (more or less) classic mistakes still made on a regular basis? Wrong runwany, wrong airport ...good grief.
