> Regulations are written in blood, which is why it's such a disservice to indiscriminately tear it all down. We will re-learn the same lessons and people will pay for those lessons with their lives. And which regulation was eliminated that caused this?

    I mean, that's pretty obvious right? It's absolutely insane to have VFR traffic passing through the final approach corridor, especially at night.

      Apparently not obvious enough for anyone in the FAA ever, over numerous decades, to think it can’t be safely done.
