FAA guy was interviewed on CNN and got a little turned arouned by the interviewer gal.
She asked if it was safe to have no one in the tower and he said perfectly to which she replied: then why did La Hood just demand two controllers at this vital airport.
She asked what about workers/maintenance people on the runway and the FAA guy said the pilots could easily see them at night with their strobes and lights on the plane. She then asked if it would have been safe to land in bad weather and he said yes, that planes land at uncontrolled fields in bad weather all the time. She then asked about bad weather in this situation if there were maintenance people on the runway, how would the pilots see them. He ummmed and awwwedddd. Kinda funny.
