A recent FAA report has revealed troubling details about the control tower staffing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on the night of a tragic plane-helicopter collision. The report suggests that one air traffic controller was responsible for two positions, which is unusual for the high traffic volumes of the time. Although some sources confirmed staffing was deemed normal, the report pointed to potential safety concerns linked to understaffing and the ongoing controller shortages that have plagued the airport.
