LAS Twr/Grd Controller has stroke
 
This could have been really ugly. Midnight shift, working two frequencies, and she was barely coherent. Not blaming her for having a stroke, but the lack of fail safes in this situation is disturbing.

How are there not two people up there at any one time? Remember this when they try and go single pilot ops.

Wow.....thankfully no accidents occured.....

From what I've read, the second controller was on break. He returned at the end of the tape.

Disturbing.

Based on current news, it sounds like it wasn’t a stroke... She is no longer employed.

Doesn't say if she was fired or medically retired. My completely uninformed guess is the latter.

My source indicates she blew a .32 and that there was no stroke or medical condition.

Your source is either making it up or violating legal/medical ethics. Remember the rush to judgement of the Alaska Captain?
