I hope the FAA has a very fat wallet
In any case, there was 49 deaths with some quasi-VIP people
on board. The FAA will be paying out millions. ALL a lawyer needs is one hook. The FAA violated their own orders. There is your hook. Why was the controller staffing short? Actually the gov't isn't required to accept the suite. You need permission from the gov't to sue it for damages. In any case, I don't think this was very odd. I've been in lots of towers where only one person was on duty. Now the FAA said that the two controller rule only applies when the controllers are ALSO working approach. I know that in MRY its very common for delivery, ground, tower, and approach to be worked by one controller. I can't swear that there isn't another person in the tower but I've never heard two voices at night. -Robert

We have a tower where sometimes you WISH there were zero controllers in it.

Yep, when only one is on duty and they have to make a potty run. Been
