Wonder if they had approach lights,

Yes the pilot is blaming his self, rest assured. the flight cabin crew will blame them self. It was a joint effort.
Please keep in mind that my question was not asked to start a "blame game" for the Asiana tragedy - that's the job of the NTSB. Rather, we want to know if "pilot error" can in any circumstances constitute a form of criminal conduct subject to prosecution.
