Another good reminder for those in the pointy end not to brief by rote, rather to pick out the real threats pertinent to the flight and ground phases of operation - incidents like this frequently end up not being accidents purely by luck. "When we become visual I expect to see xyz / I have been here before and I know runway markings are indistinct / the approach light system is usually not illuminated during the day etc etc" Identify the threats, then decide and communicate how you are going to mitigate them. We all make mistakes, the trick is learning to avoid the big ones.
