Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
Isn't there a ground controller at JFK who's a lot like that?
I thin this is great, but I'm getting tired of the robot voice thing. Why can't people just say it themselves?

Forgive my lack of knowledge about this stuff, but I always thought most of these planes and airports had some sort of displays and sensors that "knew" where the planes were, using gps or rfid tags. I didnt realize it was most visual.

For the airports without the sensors, how do they handle the traffic when dense fog rolls in? I know the landings would be less during fog, but I do know most major airports which handle newer plans have the ability to allow the planes to land themselves.
I landed at JFK 2 years ago (on a 777) and I couldnt even see the wingtip. Now that I know they dont have these sensors, I have no idea how they got all the planes off the runway and to the gate
wow, for an industry with so much technology its amazing that we still do things the same way we did 30 years ago (except the auto landing)
I feel bad for the JFK controllers some time, it's got to be one of the hardest jobs in the world.
