Two pilots are dead. Forty-one people are injured. And it may all come down to one air traffic controller doing the job of two.

The jet hit the truck at nearly 100 miles per hour, obliterating the cockpit.

Thirty-year-old Captain Antoine Forest and 38-year-old First Officer MacKenzie Gunther were killed. Today, as 500 flights were canceled, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed that while multiple controllers were in the tower, staffing levels and workload remain central to the NTSB probe. This wasn’t just a tragedy—it’s a wake-up call for a system under pressure
