well, well.. this story is about a communication problem, maybe AF should have spoken more slowly, clearly in order to make sure the other one understands. Maybe they should have asked the controler to confirm the runway in use, and the procedure to follow,etc, instead of believing in an hesitating "yes" from him. We can't deny that this ATC guy is absolutely crap, but AF should have been more careful. What about Notams? did the crew read it?
