Here is what I know. The airport really only has only two runways (4/22 the same runway depending on the end you are departing to or landing to) for commercial aircraft. The pilot in command is solely responsible for taking off the proper runway. He has GPS, maps, nav instruments, radios, a copilot, and had to do a flight plan prior departure (Look at the departing and destination airports, weather and so on). In addition, the runways have big 26 and 22 painted on them snd the pilot in command still ended up on the wrong runway.

They say these disasters come in three's.

A few days ago a crash in the Ukrane that killed 170.

Today was 49.

Next one?

Damn, hope I'm wrong.
