It should be noted that aircraft and all other vehicle and personel movements on an airport are controlled from the airtraffic control tower by air traffic controllers or
directly by individual flaggers, as directed from the tower.
Or at least thats the way it is supposed to work, and of course the operation at a place like LaGuardia is more complex, and will have specialists and multiple zones.
What will put an extra edge on this is the
whole ICE thing, and airport chaos pulling the roof down.
- lotsofpulp 7mo agoThe comments in /r/aviation see to think it’s a one (tired) man show at night. https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/1s16x61/comment/obypk37/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/1s16x61/comment/o...
- rdtsc 7mo ago> What will put an extra edge on this is the whole ICE thing, and airport chaos pulling the roof down. How would the ICE thing cause more ground traffic collisions. Are you thinking ATC controllers are illegal immigrants and they’re going to run away during their shift? I just don’t see a connection there…
- wat10000 7mo agoNot the crash, but the aftermath. Passengers will be showing up for flights today, nervous with the crash on their minds, and many will then encounter untrained goons cosplaying as airport security.
- rdtsc 7mo agoI could see that, yeah.
- tencentshill 7mo agoThis incident caused delays and cancellations that ripple throughout an already understaffed network of TSA checkpoints. ICE presence will make airport security somehow an even worse experience for brown people.
