Don't bother looking at any of the contributing causal factors which may have contributed to this.In your eyes they are guilty and should never fly again.Have you ever heard of Swiss cheese?
You probably don't remember this incident, but the Captain committed suicide after his trial. He certainly hadn't started his day thinking I must try and land on a road.

Tubby,
I've read of that BA incident, he should never have been tried. Would you agree?
Underfire,
The pics from the sim, I presume, make it look ridiculously obvious, but it can't be as simple as shown. Surely, two highly experienced pilots didn't suddenly decide to land on the taxiway, there must be much more to it--illusion, both very fatigued, etc. 3 am body time is tough and, despite it being and everyday schedule, sometimes things just go wrong.
