With modern technology available today I still cannot understand how an aircraft with more than 100 live and breathing people can miss a landing target by 7 miles.
This is not the length of a football field mind you, but rather the width of a medium sized city.
Are the navigational systems available on the flight deck really that bad or that inaccurate?
Or is it that they are simply ignored?
