You are missing the point gentlemen. ATC do not have their hands on the thrust levers prior to take-off and they do not have their hands on the reversers when committed to land. Thats the responsibility of the PIC and in this instance the PIC should have gone around a lot earlier than when he had to apply maximum braking. I have never flown in the States bit a superficial glance of Google earth shows me that the correct airport is in the middle of forest and the incorrect runway is next to the town.
