Can I still get "Bad day for JFK ground Controller"?

[[email protected]]

Last March, there was a discussion about a bad day for a JFK ground
controller, who was super busy. The audio was impressive and funny to
hear.

I found the postings, but the link is gone. Does anyone have a copy
of the clip or a link?
I'd appreciate it, Thanks.

I received the following from a friend: Here is a funny episode
with a JFK ground controller and numerous aircraft taxiing on the
ground. Ground control at busy airports like JFK is the busiest
and most complex position in the tower. There can be a hundred
different taxi ways and most of them are crossing runways or very
close to it. One wrong turn by an aircraft can lead to disaster
or just a nightmare like this sound clip: http://home.online.no/~chainly/JFKGround.mp3
So you can follow the action, there is an airport diagram available

Got it! Thanks to all who replied.

The worst scenario at JFK was always the 7:30 Sunday "Whale Walk"
where we would get buried in 747's going across the pond and some
Hodgie airline would make a locked-wheel turn after missing a taxiway
and cause a pavement failure.

Late one August night we were trying to depart on our last leg,
weather was 0/0, rvr was 1200, and 600, midfield rvr was inop
and we were to follow a Pakastany 74 from the IAB to 31L
who lost his way around 22R. I'm sorry I lost sight of the initial
aircraft and continued to the departure runway I told the controller.

Have a great one!

Bush

Hey, good story.

Does it have a point?

Obviously Bertie does not live or have a house in Fog Country. The
point is that 1) Things appear mighty different in foggy conditions on
the ground and 2) never rely on the preceding aircraft to show you the
right way were you dropped on your head or something?

Have a great one!

You have no proof of that.

Yeah, it's all clear now. Thanks for setting me straight there, Cluthc
