They didn't redesign the runway. The runways have been 22 and 26 since they were poured. The crew blew it. It's that simple.
The taxiways were redesigned. I agree that the crew is ultimately responsible, but there will be some blame for more than just those two men.
They said they reconfigured the runways on the national news, so if it is not true, they gave false facts (another first!).
