Well, surprising that nobody has yet mentioned that the landing may
have been in VMC conditions. Not saying that it wasn't an error but if
the PF didn't even have the chance to see anything visually outside, it
could explain things.

Or can such incidents happen even when your view is clear enough?

It's entirely possible. I did it (more than once actually) while training
for my Private certificate.

Lined up perfectly for what I was certain was RWY 4R when in fact it was a
taxiway. Fortunately, I discovered my error in plenty of time to slide over
a bit.
