It would seem he had experienced a similar false ILS glide slope that we had a few months later but for some reason he pressed on regardless. An ethnic culture of real men don't go around, perhaps?
Slight thread drift but still related. The picture of the burning China Airlines 707 at Manila after hitting short of the runway, is truly horrendous. False glide slope or not and remember that this crash happened over 33 years ago, it seems that, as so often happens in that part of the world, ethnic culture still plays a role in why some pilots refuse to accept they should go-around. The Lion Air 737 crash into the water at Bali is a case in point.
