Here's some of the congestion, I mean flight paths ....



It seems like there is a plane landing every minute or less at DFW.

Considering the huge amount of traffic in the world and the unbelievable complexity of the modern aircraft, it is amazing an accident isn't common occurrence. Just the engine is so complex with tiny measurement tolerances it is a wonder how man can reliably manufacture such a huge device with the craftsmanship of a fine Swiss watch.
