LaGuardia air traffic controller: "I messed up."

This is from a Canadian news source:

...."Seconds before, a United Airlines flight reports a strange odour on board, prompting an emergency response by the airport's rescue and firefighting (ARFF) team.

Multiple vehicles leave the airport fire station and approach Runway 4. As required, they request permission to cross the runway from controllers. That permission is granted and the lumbering vehicles begin to accelerate.

Mere seconds later, the same ground controller is heard on the radio urgently calling on the vehicles to stop. He uses the word "stop" ten times.

7. What's missing from the picture is the kids holding rifles, like the one of the Maggot congress member

and each kid holding a rifle.

However, gotta say, if I had a wife looking like that, I'd probably have more than the two kids I already have.

10. I can't imagine the stress involved with doing that job every day. I sweat and shudder at the

prospect of having that many lives in my hand every minute on the job, knowing I am fully capable of making a bone headed but honest mistake at any time. Bless those brave souls that do this line of work. This poor man will be dealing with too much guilt for a long time to come.
