Cleaned the thread up, I apologize for the immature behavior MikeySM.   Thanks for posting the story, I can't believe how close that plane got to hitting some of the bystanders!  I wonder why the pilot had such difficulties seeing the start of the runway.. :yikes:

I didn't know this story was 2 months old. It was all over the web and papers yesterday and today. Strange but nevermind lol

Perceptual error
Inadequate knowledge - unfamiliarity with airport layout
Exceptional error - use of displaced threshold for landing
