Over an hour before sunrise, this crew somehow ignored the intended runway with full TDZL and CL lighting. This will need some explaining because right now, it is really hard to understand. (I am assuming that all the lighting was operational.)
It is pure luck that this landing 767-300 did not collide with anything on the taxiway. I can't wait for the tapes and transcripts. This flight would have had three pilots aboard due to stage length.
Also, redeyes into ATL often use the inner runways for landing simply because there are virtually no flights departing before 0730. And there are reports that this flight had a medical issue aboard and would likely have welcomed a shorter taxi to terminal E.
