Well, now let's dissect this fine piece of journalism:

Flights were delayed 2 hours but by 11AM the SCHEDULE was back on track

Planes that had already descended and that their pilots could see the field could have landed without communicating with the tower.

Has everyone forgotten about that light that hangs down there in the the tower cab. Last I heard, it wasn't for decoration but just exactly for times like these or the tower being able to contact sombody by radio.

Just sayin'
