So far, it seems as if the sun was down for at least half an hour. And from the CNN video, the taxyway didn't look very much like a live runway.
So I would think it's time to stop guessing what went on, and wait for some more concrete information (no pun intended).
We all know about people landing in places where they did not intend to land (Northolt, anybody?).
Until we know what happened and why, and what lessons are to be learned from that, let's give it a rest, maybe?
