This train was right on time.......
If you're in an emergency, WHY on earth accept runway changes? ATC is working FOR YOU, not the other way around. If you've been up for 11 hours on an all nighter, and you loaded a specific approach, briefed, why let them change it up on you?
And listen to the tape, the last one was voluntary.

Delta landed at MacDill v TPA unintentionally
Delta landed at OSU v CMH unintentionally
NWA landed in the wrong COUNTRY, Belgium v Germany
USAF Moose landed Pete Knight v MacDill
Who knows how many landed wrongly at Biggs AAF v El Paso
Think it can't happen to you, good luck.

You need to look at the evolution of technology however. Back in the days when it was hard to discern a cockpit from the bridge of a uboat.. sure, I can see it. Now days though there is little excuse during the era of glass cockpits and rnav approaches for landing at the wrong airport. That's why it's been exceedingly rare in recent years.

When your goggles fog all them airports look the same......During the controller strike, center turned you loose at 5000 ft. Cleared for approach, no tower. Lots and lots of procedure turns outbound.
