If I may interject with a silly SLF question, would (hypothetically) GPS spoofing be a possible factor that could lead a crew to descend towards a non-existing runway?

There have reportedly been instances of ships finding themselves far inland based on GPS location, or moving at speeds beyond their capabilities.

Far-fetched, I know, but I would still be interested to know if it could play even a small role in an incident like this.
