I don't get it. 50,000 flights a day, 5 million people carried per day. 1,000 deaths per year. 2+1 guys stuffed a VFR approach in a heavy jet after 12 hours overnight flying into a complex ATC/aerodrome environment with no navaids at their disposal on a training flight. Surely this factors into anyone's risk calculations, is it not a statistical certainty? If there was no sea wall they would have missed the runway by 50-100 feet or so, and probably landed just short. Interesting reading, but not many people are above having a sub par day at the office, ask the fire truck driver. Many holes lined up for this one, Korean command gradients, and rote learning/training are just a couple of them...
