In my ATC career, I never realized how deadly and scary this business could be until I worked in a tower (after 14 years of radar). I can't even count all the close calls I've seen. Of course, some did end it fatalities / totaled airplanes.

My very first trip at SkyWest was SBA-SLC-ABQ, runway 3 visual approach. Congrats to the crew for making this a non-event.
