WHO is defending anything? the pilots screwed up and landed at the wrong airport.
IF there are sins in flying, this is one of them.
IT would appear though that a greater sin in flying is killing someone.
OUT of curiosity, would you rather:
a. land at the wrong airport, not kill anyone and have the plane reused the next day.
b. land at the right airport , kill passengers, and destroy the plane.
