Smog forces 'blind landing' training.
So...has anyone learned how to land 'blind' in smog yet? Apparently we didn't yet know how to land 'blind' in low vis conditions. 
I'm not yet certified for "blind landing category 2" approaches.

Sure doesn't look like Smog to me in the CNN Photo. Smog is much more yellow- ish and wouldn't likely display the characteristics as seen surrounding the aircraft in the photo. Additionally many operators won't shoot a Cat 3 to Mins anyway as many require a self imposed Vis in their Ops Specs, largely to assist in the crash trucks finding them...
