after dark

But here we’re grading on a curve — and factoring in the reality that the same place where we can easily dash out on foot to grab a French dip sandwich or take in the symphony is also a place filled with enough dark alleys, vacant storefronts and litter-strewn sidewalks to make the on-foot feel on guard after dark.

The pilot of a small plane that crashed on Santa Catalina Island, killing five, was warned not to take off in treacherous conditions after dark.

It also says the plane did not have clearance to take off and that the airport manager clearly told the pilot he should not depart after dark.

Catalina Island’s airport is not equipped for night operations, but a plane took off after dark and crashed, killing everyone aboard.

Despite the dangers of taking off after dark, the pilot insisted on leaving, according to the report.
