RobertVA Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Chicago Meigs CLOSED" 04-01-03, 09:09z  Mayor apparently directed police escorted city crews to rip huge X s across entire width of runway in early morning darkness! Apparently over a dozen planes, including transient aircraft, will have to be removed by ground or water transportation unless given a waiver to take off using the taxiway parallel to the ruined runway. The destructive closure was so unexpected, the FAA did not receive prior notice of the closure and had to issue a NOTAM about the closeure after the runway was destroyed. Meigs tower crews were denied access to the field Monday morning until the FAA demanded their admitance, as they are responsible for low altitude traffic below approaches to O'hare and Midway from the East.
