Here's a bit about the controller on CNN:

This is the first statement I've read from the controller. Poor guy was pretty shaken.

Also, Sully sure is eloquent! What he says there is so true. My dad would have a complete and total fit if I wanted to fly after the insane career he's had with the Navy, then EAL before it went under, and crazy corporate jobs.

Wow is right! Listening to Harten's cool and collected professionalism is why I want to be an Air Traffic Controller.
