We have radio signals that parallel the runways, they are called localizers.
Light beams have been tried all the way back to before WWII without any
favorable outcomes.

I heard on the radio that a small plane from Chicago went missing in the

fog
during a landing attempt at the Toronto City Centre Airport.
This morning I see in the newspaper that the plane and the pilot have been
located at the bottom of Lake Ontario. The plane was a Beechcraft that

could
seat six people.
There has been no known reason, as yet, as to the cause of the crash,

according
to the article.
I think this type of crash may be preventable, if it was due to poor

visibility, by the
construction of radio signal buoys parallel to the runways lights and a

simple
receiver on board light aircraft. Or visible laser beams criss crossing

over the runway.
All of this technology is available, is it not?
