1979 LA to Mexico City. Landed on the wrong runway and hit a dump truck then crashed into a maintenance facility. That is some of the craziest audio I’ve ever heard. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yCMuP1kev6…
I don't know what the point of this post is but I was interviewed by the FAA during their investigation because I had talked with the captain in the flight control office before he left for the flight. They wanted to know his mood, etc. I still believe that the Mexican Air Traffic Control led him down the wrong path. The captain had been flying this flight all month and was well aware of the night closure of the runway he made the disastrous landing on.
Muddy getting his sensationalism fix on. Just like the YT poster- purely sensationalism with no cogent commentary from someone who doesn't know squat about aviation or airline operations.
