While general regulations may have difficulty being specific enough
for all situations as you pointed out, isn't the responsibility for

procedure.

This fatal mishap seems to beg the question, what was the Local
Controller doing while the arriving flight was on a collision course
with the radio tower?


He was probably doing his job.
