[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who was the ATC who left their shift early? Who was the supervisor who let them?[/quote]

Maybe they had explosive diarrhea. You have no idea the circumstances. [/quote]

Shouldn't they have a backup?[/quote]

Have you missed all the coverage everywhere about how understaffed the ENTIRE FAA is, and has been for a long time? Magical "backups" don't just appear, PP. Maybe they should, but they aren't a given like you seem to assume. Not in such an understaffed environment. Keep up with the coverage better. Even the increasingly problematic Post has covered this.

Why’d the supe let the tower go shortstaffed just because some ATC asked to leave early? When I hear such a reckless favor granted I think: 1) idiots 2) unqualified 3) maybe a creepy boss trying to sleep with a female ATC and/or boss easily taken advantage of by female underlings.[/quote]

Those are your first thoughts?? Flu and norovirus are rampant in the DC area. That was MY first thought: they weren’t feeling well. [/quote]

Oh, so they drove straight to a hospital ER? Or just a cough or tummy ache? Now 70 people are dead. Oops.[/quote]

How would a second ATC have changed the outcome? The AT saw the issue. The Helo confirmed TWICE that he saw the plane and would go behind. He obviously didn’t but was ATC supposed to assume the military was lying? What would  second controller have done?[/quote]
