You're only dealing with a couple hundred. The controller at a center
or hub airport deals with 1-2000 times that every day. But my understanding is that, as a controller, when you have a very bad day, you still get to go home. Not the same as having to land a 737 in Hawaii after the roof has blown off, etc. -Robert

They "went home" as you say but they had a wild ride and were risking their neck. I didn't see anything to suggest the controllers were in fear for their lives.

Chip, ZTL Which strangely enough has never happened. Actually, in the case of the Russian airplane and the European airplane that crashed over Germany, the controller did die. A Russian man who's wife and 2 kids died after the controller turned two planes together in cruise later killed the controller. -Robert
