“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.“
