This is what happens when pilots disconnect the automatics and are practicing those darned manual flying skills instead of staying glued to the magenta line and letting the aircraft autoland like the management want us to.
This is a known "human factors" trap. Pilots are human ergo eventualy one will stick his foot in it.
A bit like landing with the gear up, these pilots will be the least likely guys to make the same mistake again but somebody will!
