Regulations debated after plane collisions
In Chicago two recent small-plane crashes killed three amid a call for safer airspace. LA also saw four dead in a golf-course collision. Regulators probe wreckage at Zion and Waukegan, noting many small airports lack control towers and pilots rely on radios and visibility. Experts warn understaffed towers and reduced oversight weaken safety. FAA data show general aviation accidents in 1998 were 1,907 with 361 fatalities, while 1999 midair collisions were 18.
