Quoted verbatim from the NTSB record. This site does not paraphrase or interpret it.
Read the full NTSB narrative
LOSSES OF SEPARATION OCCURRED BETWEEN 8 OF 9 AIRPLANES ON THE ILS APPROACH, AND OCCURRED BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE OUTER MARKER. THE LOCAL CONTROLLER WAS AWARE THAT THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE AIRPLANES WAS 'TIGHT' WHEN HANDED OFF TO HIM BY TRACON. HE ATTEMPTED REMEDIAL ACTION BY NOTIFYING HIS SUPERVISOR AND ISSUING MISSED APPROACHES TO TWO OF THE AIRPLANES.
