Loc is irrelevant.
FAR 91.176
“3) Visibility and visual reference requirements. No pilot operating under this section or §§121.651, 125.381, or 135.225 of this chapter may continue an approach below the authorized DA/DH and land unless:
...
(A) The pilot must identify the runway threshold using at least one of the following visual references—
(1) The beginning of the runway landing surface;
(2) The threshold lights; or
(3) The runway end identifier lights.
(B) The pilot must identify the touchdown zone using at least one of the following visual references—
(1) The runway touchdown zone landing surface;
(2) The touchdown zone lights;
(3) The touchdown zone markings; or
(4) The runway lights.“
I think it’s safe to say these parameters were not met.

Was it United 3407 or Colgan 3407? At the end of the day when the dust settles, the legacies will throw their contractors to the wolves in a heartbeat while doing everything in their power to distance themselves from any sort of culpability.
