And at world-class DFW Int'l, Tower controllers used runway 17R, which is very closely spaced with 17C, as an extra taxiway in limited visibility-to park aircraft!
Did the NTSB even fault the Tower Supervisor for dreaming up that brilliant idea?
It was pure luck that an inbound aircraft, which lined up on the wrong runway, landed over and past them on 17R. Never mind the dangers at Midway (MDW), Hou. Hobby (HOU) or Cleveland (CLE), due to dangerous runway layouts and/or length. Providence (PVD) had a dangerous situation develop a few years ago, with fog. Shades of Tenerife.
How many other guys/gals always switch on flood lights when on or even crossing a runway-whether operational or with construction in progress?
