UA169 (VCE-EWR), aircraft or parts of it hit truck on I-95

Since we are talking about it. Keep an eye out of the note "Glidepath and VGSI not coincident" or something like that. I can't remember if it was on the ILS or RNAV into 14L at BFI, but there used to be a note like that on the chart. I don't see it anymore. I remember following the glidepath on a visual and the FO says "Red over red", which was a callout. Nobody ever said it except this one F/O. Damned if he wasn't right. I was on glidepath on the FD but if you look out the window at VGSI, I was low. The note means any time below minimums, you gotta be looking at the VASI or PAPI and not electronic glidepath.
I’ve seen that note on an approach as well. It wasn’t at BFI, but I’ve seen it.
