Questions:-

1/ was the ILS operating on their intended RWY?

2/ were the HIAL on?

3/ were the RTZL on?

If they were then how could a trained crew in an A320 stuff it up?
If they weren't on then why not?

Swiss cheese holes very nearly lined up that evening.

Sounds like all flights at night should be ILS approaches at so equipped runways, or all crews should be trained to tune and ident the ILS then monitor it on final for correct runway alignment. Irrespective of the wx at Airports with close parallel runways and taxiways. AND all the fancy HIALS RTZL should be operating.
