I found an interesting NOTAM.

!BHM 08/035 BHM RWY 18/36 CLSD

If I read this correctly, Runway 18/36 has been closed since Aug 03, 2012.
Does anyone knows anything about this or can anyone verify this?

I saw something about it being closed.

If they made no distress calls, what the heck? Then I’m thinking they didn’t know where they were. Was this the same crew that flies regularly from, to KY, and back? If it was, what the heck?

Was the flightaware data correct about those last few minutes in which there were some HUGE drops in altitude? If so (data correct), weird, and why would that not be troubling to the pilots/tower?

Why would they lose lift while landing? Instrument error or pilot error or ?

Very sad.

The 08/035 indicates the 35th NOTAM for BHM for the month of August. The rest of the NOTAM is not shown...it would be the times/dates effective.

That said, it was not closed this AM.
