    i have no idea what the true cause of this was - meaning was it just a guy making a mistake or was it indicative of government cuts and understaffed undertrained workers.

    terrible tragedy either way.

    not having a truck driving across a runway that has a plane landing is like ATC 101

    ATC made a careless mistake that costed two lives. A drunk driver makes a careless mistake that resulted in casualties as well.

    LGA controller who is horrendously overworked and made to manage BOTH the ground and tower comms in one of the biggest airports in the world, makes a single mistake in the course of his 10 hour shift in a very busy night, during terrible weather, and attempts to correct the mistake in the matter of seconds

    Versus

    A s***head who knowingly gets drunk, knowingly gets in a car, and kills a family because he can't control his vices

    Does that explain why distilling it down to a simple ass a***ogy doesn't make any sense

    a mistake is a mistake dude. you think drunk drivers knowingly get in their car with the intent to kill people?

    I don’t blame the ATC at all. I blame the FAA and the fed gov for causing this situation from systemic failure after systemic failure

    You can safely do that job you can’t safely drink and drive

  • Looks like plane was still in the air when ATC gave the go ahead. Tried to rescind it back a few seconds later but planes just travel way to fast.

    he prob will be fired. i feel bad for him since you know he's going to be thinking about this for the rest of his life

    There’s no way he’s being fired. As someone who is in aviation, very rarely do incidents like this result in a single person being at fault. This is Human Factors and a direct result of being overworked and understaffed.

    He was controlling ground traffic AND air at a major airport, that is absolutely insane. Not only that, but he had to continue working for an additional 30 minutes because no one was able to relieve him of his duties.

    This goes back to the FAA and the government who want to work these guys like animals.
