Drunk Pilot found Guilty of Risking Catastrophe

"There was never any risk because we have good air traffic controllers
and they were not going to let anything happen," Green argued in his
closing remarks to the judge.


Then I hold ATC directly responsible for not immediately making the plane
land. How dare they let a catastrophe almost happen?

Yeah, they should have just pushed the "land the plane" button on their
remote control and it would have all been over.

Reminds me of an item from one of those e-mail jokes...

"The concept of "controlling" airspace with radar is just a form of FAA
sarcasm directed at pilots to see if they're gullible enough to swallow it.
Or to put it another way, when's the last time the FAA ever shot anyone
down?"
