How did they get the plane headed to KRAP so quickly? Or did the crew operate the repo before pulling them? At the end of the day, errors are inevitable and it's unfortunate that this happened to the crew.

The same crew operated the flight to KRAP. Then they were unsafe to continue their trip.

We should let the FBI conduct the investigation. They'll be back in the saddle in no time. No intent and all that.

Approach is open 24/7 on weekdays, they close at 10pm on weekends. Rapid City tower is open until 10pm every night.

Ellsworth is a training facility for military controllers. You hear the trainer step over the trainee a lot on frequency. Not that is makes a different but they also control Minot from the same room.

Heck, they're qualified to lead LCA familiarization on approaches there based on how the elite are treated.

Yikes, flown into Rapid City a few times, it's an easy mistake to make. The warning on the chart isn't very big either.
