Default Can I still get "Bad day for JFK ground Controller"?

The worst scenario at JFK was always the 7:30 Sunday "Whale Walk"
where we would get buried in 747's going across the pond and some
Hodgie airline would make a locked-wheel turn after missing a taxiway
and cause a pavement failure.

Late one August night we were trying to depart on our last leg,
weather was 0/0, rvr was 1200, and 600, midfield rvr was inop
and we were to follow a Pakastany 74 from the IAB to 31L
who lost his way around 22R. I'm sorry I lost sight of the initial
aircraft and continued to the departure runway I told the controller.

Have a great one!

Last March, there was a discussion about a bad day for a JFK ground
controller, who was super busy. The audio was impressive and funny to
hear.

I found the postings, but the link is gone. Does anyone have a copy
of the clip or a link?
I'd appreciate it, Thanks.

I received the following from a friend: Here is a funny episode
with a JFK ground controller and numerous aircraft taxiing on the
ground. Ground control at busy airports like JFK is the busiest
and most complex position in the tower. There can be a hundred
different taxi ways and most of them are crossing runways or very
close to it. One wrong turn by an aircraft can lead to disaster
or just a nightmare like this sound clip:

So you can follow the action, there is an airport diagram available
