that according to the ntsb releasing some of their preliminary findings tonight. what we were able to determine when we flew over that area, these runways are only about seven miles apart. if you're on a 737 on approach ten miles south, you can clearly see both of them, but the crew here says that when they were approaching at night they were using their eyes, not their instruments. when they looked up they saw the lights of the wrong runway and followed that one. the pilot i was with was showing how easy it was to make that mistake just turning a few degrees one way or the other could put you on the wrong runway and that's exactly what happened here. in fact, the ntsb was listening to the cockpit voice recorder and what is on that recorder actually backs up what the pilots told them. looking at the statement here it says, according to the cockpit voice recorder, the landing was uneventful and it was not until shortly after landing that the crew realized they had landed at the wrong airport. now the term uneventful, some of the passengers might argue with that det
