212man,

A few years back, at night, rainy season....fixed wing aircraft....diverted due to weather...arrived overhead a dark airfield....closed airport....despite pleas by the Captain...Airport Manager refused to turn the lights on....aircraft crashed after as it attempted to land on an unlit airfield.

Remember which airport....which airline....how many dead?
