Los Angeles runway crash blamed on control tower view blocks
Federal investigators said a light pole and a radar blind spot blocked the controller’s view at LAX as the USAir 1493 and Skywest 5569 were directed onto the same runway. The incident killed 33. The controller and supervisor were tested, placed on administrative duty, and the NTSB reviewed cockpit tapes showing the USAir jetline asking to land with no response. The tape revealed a shouted expletive and a collision occurred moments after, with tests pending for alcohol and drugs.
