Maybe the fog was so thick you couldn't see the lights

Bright lights and fog create a refelction that can make it very hard to see, and the pilots may have had that problem. The light is reflected off of the water in the fog. This is the same reason that you are not supposed to drive in fog with your high beams on.

I'd suggest moving this to the tech/ops forum - you'll get some good answers there.

to add a question:
why do they have their land lights on in the day?

Dear Flairport -
Landing lights are ON as per safety recommendations... during DAY/NIGHT
Within 30 miles of landing airport and below 10,000 feet...
