I have to say whilst the are are no injuries that is a funny sitaution. But yes they do need to get it sorted out.

Lol, in the sim I once landed rwy 5R instead of 5L

With the wx conditions they described I can easily see how that would be possible.  As the article said, the surfaces are both concrete (same color) similar width and similar length. 

A simple solution would be for some heavy 747 to make the same mistake... turn Taxiway Tango into a trench of crumbled concrete! haha

I started to descend for the wrong airport once at the WX was CAVU.  Both airports were within about 2nm of each other and had similar layouts, but still the controller had to tell me I was going towards the wrong airport.

I don't think they will.  Sounds to me like they're too busy pointing fingers and claiming the problem doesn't exist.  My prediction is that the first loss of life accident will result in the pilot going to jail (assuming he/she survives).  The second will result in a formal review of procedures (or some such BS) and it won't actually get fixed until after the third loss of life accident.  Unless someone famous dies within the first two accidents.  After all their lives are so much more valuable than ours.

to get an idea of the problem try flying the approach in MSFS at noon on January 1st.  Imagine that it's just rained and the sun is glaring off the taxiway while the tar runways are almost black in comparison and blend with the ground.
