A stricken air-traffic controller who was on duty when a passenger jet plowed into a rescue truck at LaGuardia Airport admitted “I messed up” — moments after the deadly crash, according to heart-pounding audio released Monday.
The horrific, caught-on-video Sunday night collision killed the two pilots on Air Canada Flight 8646, injured 41 people and caused an hours-long airport closure, officials said – as experts contended the crash was entirely avoidable and likely caused by a miscommunication.

the ATC person was handling multiple jobs simultaneously, which may have done much to contribute to the accidental collision and the ensuing loss of life…
I wonder if it can be in any way related to the reduction in the workforce, which had resulted from people not showing up for work because they weren’t being paid because the position was not being funded because the president decided to make his decision?
