@cbcnews: It's 'the worst thing that can happen to a controller' said Michael McCormick, a former air traffic manager with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. CBC's Lyndsay Duncombe spoke to aviation instructors and former air traffic controllers about the Air Canada runway collision at LaGuardia airport to find out how the tragedy could impact the industry, already struggling with recruitment. #news #aviation #newyork #plane #thenational
how does 1 person handle all air trafic then have to handle emergency ground traffic on two different radio channels. this is a management issue.

All these lawsuits and prices go up for flyers but the main problem is NEVER addressed! They need to hire more air traffic controllers! More mechanics! They need SAFETY REGULATIONS

a friend told me about book The Silent Dominion by D. Cross and said "the system isn't broken it's built this way." i thought that was just a cool quote until i read the book. D. Cross explains exactly how everything from media to finance to politics is structured to keep regular people reacting instead of understanding. short book but it will rearrange your entire brain

Heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones and the controller. This man needs support from those closest to him.

It’d great if we had high speed trains, and not always have to rely on planes to go somewhere.
