Other than the runway and taxiway lights being in use, the article did not
apear to mention the time of day, place of origin, or the number of hours
the crew had been or duty.

Y'all don't suppose that crew fatigue could have played a part?

Peter, it landed at 6:05 AM, it would have been quite dark, and the
flight was I think from Reo. I guess if there was a cross wind of,
say, 50 knots, if they were flying an ILS the nose could have been
pointing at the taxiway when they broke out (that is intended to be
funny -- this event was not).

Years ago I was flying an approach into Seattle's airport (Seatac?),
and not very far off the extended centerline of the runway I was to
use was another airport, with a runway aligned almost the same way. I
wonder how often visitors land at the wrong airport?- Hide quoted text -

I have suffered momentary confusion at an airport that was using a
closed runway as a taxiway.
