You betcha.


Not to dispute your remark, but is there an available source of information
as to how many such collisions there've been?

As a matter of fact, there IS NO POSITION AND HOLD AT
NIGHT as a result of one such crash.


Interesting. I didn't know position-and-hold wasn't allowed at night. That
makes sense though--not only is it more dangerous at night, but on average
it's also less useful, since airports tend to be less busy at night.
