A straight line drawn from the ATC tower at ABIA to this site (600 Guad) runs right through the Fairmont site and Frost Bank Tower...and the site is 7 miles (as the crow flies) from the tower.
It this is the reason for the FAA to force this tower lower, then why is it allowed in other cities? Change the approach angles! Planes don't fly directly over downtown. Furthermore, doesn't the tower use radar anyway? Geez.
