Child Directed Traffic at JFK Airport; FAA Probes
Добавлено: 03 мар 2010, 20:21
An investigation is underway after a child was heard giving instructions to a pilot from the air-traffic control tower at one of America's busiest airports.
In a recording that has been confirmed as genuine by the Federal Aviation Administration, the child makes five transmissions from John F Kennedy International Airport — with the pilots in each case all responding enthusiastically to him.
One conversation between the tower at JFK Airport in New York and a pilot goes as follows:
JFK TOWER: Jet Blue 171 contact departure.
PILOT: Over to departure jet blue 171, awesome job.
The child appears to be supervised, with a controller explaining the reason for the young voice to the pilot.
JFK TOWER: That's what you get guys when the kids are out of school. (laugh)
The airport is the sixth busiest in the country with thousands of planes taking off and landing every day.
