Default Visit to the Control Tower

2) There is a radar on the field, and the tower is wired to
show the radar to the guys in the cab, but there is in fact
no display. The display is in center, 400 miles away. To
get a display they need 30,000 movements per year. They
have 29,000.


Or until they have a mid-air that kills a few people and
little white sheets and goo are scattered over some nice
neighborhood

The FAA is typical Government. People must die before the
Tombstone agency does anything. Now if some VIP dies they
will also throw money and equipment at the problem

Sorta like you don't get a red light at the busy
intersection until some people die or a kid gets killed
getting off a school bus

Typical ****ed up Government. Beans before souls.

What if your wife or kid or you were one of those statistics
BEFORE you get the red light or the radar display??

Changes the perspective a little huh??
