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.

But just in the realm of TEM/possible outcomes, what would have ACTAULLY been faster and less error/threat prone?
Just saying in a "learn from a previous situation way" and NOT a "they pooched a screw way".

2004 me, almost, had it not been for an awesome fo who spoke up and voiced his concern. Was the exact airport/runway as the continental in 1997. We were fully configured, short final. Talking to the controller on the phone after, he said he was supposed to be watching but was distracted by something else. He was more apologetic than anything. Happens. I throw no rocks from my glass house.
