Air traffic controllers often sit in a darkened room, understaffed, staring at radar scopes with airspace filled to capacity making split second decisions where hundreds of lives hang in the balance. It’s a stressful job, and CNN's Tom Foreman gets a chance to see how future controllers train in the air traffic control simulator at the Community College of Baltimore County. The controllers who teach the next generation tell Tom the system is at capacity and even seconds of a malfunction of the antiquated equipment, like we saw at Newark, can cause disaster – and certainly controller stress.
