By the grace of God this happened in US. Had it be in the third world there would have howls of derisive post about how stupid, idiotic or incompetent Asian/African/South American pilots are!
In Asia there are plenty of airfields close to one another, eg Sangley near NAIA, Sungsan near Taoyuan and lots of small military airfields near major Chinese and Korean airports. It can happen here too but the consequences will be quite severe!
My dear Harry, this incident happened not to a major airline's crew and most of the truthful posters here are probably down to earth GA pilots. The legacy airline pilots in the first world are a different breed altogether, who in their own own little world can do no wrong.
