Air Traffic Controller Suspended After DC Airport Incident
(Arlington, VA) — An air traffic controller who may have fallen asleep on the job at Reagan National Airport has been suspended from from all operational duties. The FAA did not name the worker who went silent in the control tower as two planes tried to land early Wednesday morning. An NTSB spokesman says the controller was the only one working at the time, prompting Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to order the FAA to schedule two controllers on overnight shifts.
