Default How can we "fix" LEX to prevent wrong runway selection everywhere?

50 years ago the LEX accident would have been declared pilot error and
the media would not have sensationalized the issue like they do today.
I'm worried this sensationalism will end up forcing a new set of
regulations on us that do very little to address the problem.



The TWA/United mid-air over the Grand Canyon was 50 years ago this past
June. I recently saw some of the original newspaper reports. They
didn't seem much different than what the print media reports these days.
