Another Botched use of runways

Please explain who exactly at the FAA was responsible for this accident?

Oh, perhaps if there were a 24th person in the tower cab, whose sole
responsibility would have been staring out the window, he might have been
able to see from 3 miles away that the Lufthansa flight was 6 inches past its
hold short line and prevented this accident.

Oh I know. Perhaps if there were 5,000 FAA controllers in the Tower Cab, they
could each be assigned a plane to watch at all times so that the pilots can
just sleep their way through the flight.

Give me a f^&*ing break.

How about guys in pink shirts standing next to the runway?

In the days before RVR really worked, when the weather was foggy at some
airline airports they had a certified observor standing beside the
runway who provided manually observed RVR readings to the tower via an
interphone link.

Actually it was a controller who gave visibility observations in the
vicinity of the touchdown zone from a car. IIRC most airports only had RVV
at the time.

Yes, RVV, not RVR. I thought about that after the posting.

This may be a joke but its not far from the truth. As the
FAA runs off their tenured and experienced white
heterosexual males over 40 in favor of homosexuals and black
females for racist diversity goals out of Washington D.C.
pink shirts and rainbow flags may be a common site around
airports.

Just so we're clear, the sarcasm was directed at the idiots who want to blame
the FAA for a pilot's mistake.

Bigotry against white heterosexual men is no different than Bigotry against
black homosexual women... You are the ultimate hypocrite.

No. For trying to turn everything into a racial issue so that you can promote
your agenda. You are the white Al Sharpton.
