SHOCK AUDIO: Air-Traffic Controller Lets Kid Take Over at JFK

(NBC New York) - The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating why a child was allowed to direct air traffic at John F. Kennedy airport, one of the busiest airports in the country. The FAA says a controller brought the child to work on February 17th and allowed him to talk to pilots. In audio recordings captured by www.liveatc.net, the young kid could be heard clearing planes for take off and landing. At one point the child even has fun with an Air Mexico flight, saying, "Adios."
