This was a near total air disaster indeed. Well, more total than near, since the go-around was executed at 400 ft which should be about 1 mile out. But there were 4 planes lined up in the taxiway.

Are we color blind?
Is it really necessary to dim down the runway lights like we do?
Should we install directional taxi lights that show red to folks approaching?Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

The last 4 words in his #2 post are important, and I say that without that I've read what happened.
My dear friend,
who dares and does not tune that frequency. Obviously there are some.. One second.The German long haul is alive, 65 years and still kicking.

A few hours ago, I've read a public JACDEC message. The first six months of the year 2017 were the safest months in worldwide aviation, EVER?
[six months with ZERO dead humans in a cabin of a commercial flight, worldwide?! ]
Well, I don't know much about AC-A320s, but, as nobody was injured, I tend to say that
1. all pilots
and
2. the FDR in an A320
have received all NOTAMs (updates) which are available.
For the FDR in a B744 I like to say the same, but I am not the NTSB, I have never read one.The German long haul is alive, 65 years and still kicking.

ZERO dead humans in a cabin of a commercial flight since December 31st 2016, worldwide. I like to thank JACDEC for that message.
That includes Air Canada. I've sometimes wondered why Dorval does not share a JACDEC rank with my nickname. Somewhere they've discovered a difference.
Is there a day in the future when JACDEC here on jetphotos explains why Qantas and Air Canada (AC) are below my nickname, in the 2016 ranking?
Provide me a flight (dep and arr are equal for all providers)
in a QF-B744 and a LH-B744 and an AC-B744 (if AC didn't leave the 747 club in 2003), and I say that all three should share one place in a ranking! With almost the same amount of seats (!), an intercontinental experience of clearly more than half a century, et cetera.
But I've never fully trusted all statistics on this planet..The German long haul is alive, 65 years and still kicking.

I wonder if the VASI, approach lighting and touch-down zone lights were working...

Just something to think about....
They've been doing a lot of work on RWY28L at SFO with nightly closure of the runway, lights, and approach aids. If you didn't go there often and were expecting to see two parallel runways I suppose it's possible with RWY 28L out of service and relatively dark to assume that 28R was the left parallel and TXY C was the right parallel
Some recent SFO NOTAMS:
SFO 07/056 SFO NAV ILS RWY 28L OUT OF SERVICE 1707120600-1707121500
SFO 07/043 SFO RSFO 06/017 SFO RWY 28L ALS OUT OF SERVICE 1706021357-1707211500
SFO 06/017 SFO RWY 10R/28L CLSD DLY 0600-1500 1707110600-1707131500Parlour Talker Extraordinaire
