Whatever, Mr. Inflexable. Many local pilots begged for more/better
lighting. Could it be that it needed it? Could be that some do not
practice good airmanship? It also could be that someone gets involved
with
looking for traffic, or dealing with a mechanical problem on-board, or.. a
million other things, and they lost situational awareness. Point is, one
thing to break the chain (like more lighting, or the tower not being in
such
close proximity) could have broken the accident chain.

Fact is, one such couple needed something else to break the chain. They
are
dead now.


Something else? Do you mean something other than practicing good
airmanship, or maintaining situational awareness? Why is that necessarily
the case?



It would seem to me that anyone (including you) could see that.


Better lighting may have broken the chain, proper airmanship would have.
After all, the tower didn't reach up and swat them out of the sky. It
didn't move at all, they ran into it.
