To be honest, sometimes I seriously wonder how there aren't more accidents in the USA (and some other countries)... So many of the procedures aren't "fail-safe". Like clearing multiple aircraft to land on a runway at one time....
and adding to the insanity, not one of us is wearing a high-vis vest while barreling in. It's like queuing with no line on the floor telling you where to stand while you wait your turn. Like fueling your car while talking on a mobile phone. Like letting kids go outside during school lunch hour when it snows despite knowing one might slip or throw snowballs. It's a Wild West thing, and if you don't own spurs you'll never understand.
