I feel sorry for the crew and do not wish to be in their shoes right now.

We all should recall we can get easily distracted in a split of a second and forget to do the main things. No matter how much experience.

As I have not flown a fast-moving jet yet by no means am I to judge. But here's what I do before flying into an unknown airport: study the plates carefully the day before; check Google for a satellite image and remember that picture; always have a chat with colleagues who have flown into that very airport before; on final look for and check the numbers (no numbers at all no good); check tire markings and white markings. And if still in doubt I check with ATC.
