Default The Comair crash reminds me...

So...how'd it go? Ground cleared the plane to taxi to the correct

Nope. One guy in the tower. The FAA has already admitted that they
broke their own rules by having only one controller staffed when the
policy requires a minimum of two at all times, at all facilities. They
will probably hang the tower manager as a scapegoat.
