So, an EK 380 with four pilots in the cockpit nearly crashes short of runway 13L in JFK.
Hardly anyone are pointing their fingers at the pilots, but blame: ATC, trainers, the procedure, the airport, USA, training, the FMC, fatigue.

The pilots scrxxed up and ATC had to tell four pilots that they were very low.

Maybe they guys were not up to the job? Maybe the guys in Moscow were not up to the job? Maybe the EK 777 that crashed had a captain who should not have been in the cockpit in the first place?
I was at the holding in DUS when EK landed a 380. Eeeh, EK xxx, runway vacated? EK xxx, you are supposed to call ground by yourself, but contact them on 121.xxx. So, after flying for 6-7 hours, none of the pilots had bothered to read up on the airport procedures.

Just rantings on an anonumus forum, nothing wrong here. Move along and have a nice flight.
