So one outstanding question among many therefore is, what comments if any were offered by incoming aircraft regarding the approach both before and after the accident? Did any aircraft, a) request a runway change or even specifically comment to others that 09 was questionable, b) go-around, or c) divert? Was the crew of the accident aircraft executing a full-blown NPA (selected-selected) on 09, were they partially visual or, as you observe, is there another reason the aircraft was so low 0.8nm back? Were they executing an approach on a runway others had avoided or gone-around from? - if so, what was the decision-making process?
I remember reading somewhere that the preceding aircraft had attempted to land and diverted, but I'll be damned if I can find that now. Can anyone with a better memory corroborate this? I re-read the first 15 pages of the thread but did not see it here, so I'm suspicious it was in one of the news reports.
If this is totally incorrect apologies all round.
