Reached out to a buddy of mine that's a pilot with Porter - he doesn't know who it is yet, but it's a sad situation.

The recordings from ATC are chilling. You can hear the moment he realizes the mistake and tries his damndest to call off the truck. Sad for all involved. The main takeaway should be that one person was responsible for all ground and air movements at Laguardia. That is insane.

It’s absolutely criminal that one controller was allowed to be working all of that. That poor bastard.
