that delta guy was wearing a special kind of contact lens for both near and far vision, called , I think, monovision. This was part of the problem.

Yes , offset. but low is low.

USAIR is not relevant as it was a takeoff accident, not a landing accident. I also remember a Continental MD80 teetering on the end of the runway dike on a 13 takeoff.

I was always more concerned about takeoffs at LGA than landings.
