...and UPS normally use r/w 18 if available.
You're kidding.

Good post RF4, and Mach's observation is not unreasonable at this point...

The chart thing is macabrely interesting...possibly flying an approach at night using a chart with ambiguities as to whether the approach is NA or not....an approach that apparently was not NA with the VGSI available...and then not making it to a point that it made a difference anyway.

Also of macabre interest is that the approach was flown at 0451 LCL, evidently 9 minutes before (0500) 06 would have been available with its magic ILS.
