It will be interesting to know the reason behind this. I know one thing, they can't blame it on the bad frame rate like we can in the flightsim world. ;-) http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/31/missed.runway.ap/index.html

Wow how in the #### does something like that happen?

I think theirs going to be two new pilot openingsat Continental!Arnold

It's understandable, and this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened. This is in good weather:http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0387816/L/I can easily see how they made the mistake. Don't be to quick to judge.- Paul

The sun was shining right on the runways/taxiways that day with a stiff wind. They usually do not use that runway very often at EWR and the use of taxiway Zulu (the one they landed on) is even more rare.Thankfully no one was hurt.
