Huh? With that criteria ... ALL runways look the same in the dark (long and wide, except for this one ... it wasn't very long or wide)? How does anyone EVER land at the correct airport!*?
The ATC recordings suggest he thought he was SOUTH of the airport ... what airport did he think he was at? DFW is somewhere south of there? It has a runway that's long and wide also?
