Since the intersection is so far from the threshold of runway 25, it is very hard to properly "shoot the gap" especially if APP control is squeezing in the planes 3 miles apart on 16R. You would need a good 5-6 nm separation on 16R to safely depart in between 2 arrivals.
Was 16L being used at that time? Why wasn't APP control offloading some inbounds on 16L?
