Is simply terrible to read our pilots reading back "two two " knowing that they will inexorably meet their end heading 26 instead .
The airport map is still there at goggle earth and once again I take your attention to the fact that the number 26 was in the left of the aircraft taxing and no further ground mark are visible when you enter the RW26. If they had continued the taxi those wheels would have touched the RW22 marks at the ground. Was a prerequisite to check the magnetic heading with the clearance? Anyway this to say that the airport layout had its contributing factor to this disaster.
