It's hard as a civilian to understand how that can happen, and I have to imagine they're going to take a long look at standard practices in that area to ensure this can't happen again. Even if it's technically pilot error, there shouldn't be a situation where looking at the wrong lights in the dark ends up killing 70 people.
Just terrible.

There are systems already in place where multiple things have to go wrong for anything to happen which is why nothing had happened in 16 years of constant flights all over the country. In short, there won't be one thing that went wrong it's a failure across multiple things.
