How is it that they were able to see the runway but not an airplane of 95'
wingspan and 82' length sitting on it?


People see what they expect to see. Same with hearing what they expect
to hear. Radio clearances have readbacks to protect against this, and
visual stuff have co-pilots to be a second opinion, but sometimes the
system breaks down. In this case, it broke down terribly.
