Listen: Kid directs air traffic at JFK

OK this is scary.  The Federal Aviation Administration is currently investigating how a small child made his way inside a traffic control tower at JFK airport and instructed pilots when it was safe to land their airplanes.  National Air Traffic Controllers Association on the matter: “We do not condone this type of behavior in any way. It is not indicative of the highest professional standards that controllers set for themselves and exceed each and every day in the advancement of aviation safety.”  It’s one thing to not condone these actions; it’s quite another to MAKE SURE SOMETHING LIKE THIS NEVER HAPPENS.

  1. Don’tcha think the dad was telling the munchkin twins what to say, eh??

  2. It doesn’t matter who was telling who what! You don’t allow a KID to talk over the traffic control, no matter the circumstance. 😛

  3. I completely agree with you. The guy was an idiot. However, it’s unlikely that Dad let the kids make the decisions themselves. If he did, he should be permanently incarcerated.
