The Comair Cradh

"The controller in the tower had worked a 6:30 a.m.-to-2:30 p.m. shift the
day before the accident, then returned nine hours later and worked from
11:30 p.m. until the 6:07 a.m. accident, the NTSB says. He told
investigators his only sleep between shifts was a two-hour nap."

That's nine hours and he knew he had another shift coming up. What is the
FAA expected to do, send someone home with him and make sure he goes to
sleep?
