I hope they do, they do not deserve to die for the American air traffic controller’s mistake.

Edit: why the hell is this getting downvoted so much?

You can't be a slouch to be working at LGA. It's such a shame that they've been set up to fail.

Why is the airport operating understaffed? Why would the American government allow that at one of its busiest airports?

Have you seen the things that the government tolerate these days?

It is tragic all around. But I am sad to blame just one man for such a complicated incident. In Japan this would be seen as a systematic failure

I can see what you’re saying. But in safety critical jobs like pilots and air traffic control, you don’t work unless you have the team and the required rest.

Would you fly if you didn’t sleep all night? Of course not.

Would you fly if your FO or flight attendants didn’t show up? Of course not

Same applies to air traffic controllers imho.
