Aside from the fact that its required to read back runway hold short instructions, the following probably has a lot to do with it, in addition to the red hold lights (and occasional cones) on 9L at 21R.

Northwest Airlines Flight 1482 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Even more recent than this incident was an incident about 4 years ago involving a NW DC-9. They taxied from 1 North and were told to plan on 22R but they thought 22L which is the usual departure runway. They were told to taxi U then LEFT on K, but they turned RIGHT on K and crossed 27R while an RJ was landing.
Nobody was hurt, in fact the crew didn't know they had done anything wrong until they landed at their destination.
