Was ILS working, appears it was off, WHY?
Runway approach lights, on or off. appears to be off, WHY?
White runway lights, on or off?
Blue taxiway lights on or off?
ILS is irrelevant, cleared for visual approach and landing on 27R - NOT TAXIWAY M. Pilot in command
makes decision to continue approach whether ILS on or off. He LANDS ON TAXIWAY M.
Runway approach lights on or off, irrelevant. Pilot in command
makes decision to continue approach whether or not the lights or on or off. He LANDS ON TAXIWAY M.

So, what we have here is a case of making bad decisions...resulting in a near catastrophe. At anytime the pilot(s) could have decided NOT to continue the approach if any one or all of the above alleged events did occur. He decided to land and blew it.
