“the controller working that tower last night was, by every account I’ve heard, a respected professional…
The system that put him in that position— alone, managing complexity that was multiplying faster than any single human brain can track— that system failed him too. And it failed the two pilots who didn’t come home this morning.
We owe it to all of them to say so clearly, and then to actually do something about it.“

@CStamp The Guardian reports further detail:
“In the moments before the crash, an air traffic controller could be heard on a radio transmission giving clearance to a vehicle to cross part of the runway, then trying to stop it.
“Stop, Truck 1. Stop,” the transmission says. The controller can then be heard quickly diverting incoming aircraft from landing.“
Horrific and heartbreaking all around.

Wikipedia has a story up. Very sad.
