WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday acknowledged that only one controller was in the tower, in violation of FAA policy, when a Comair jet crashed Sunday while trying to take off from the wrong runway in Lexington, Kentucky.

Um, aren't we supposed to believe the FAA exists to prevent this kind of thing from happening?

Your tax dollars at work, folks.

Have a nice flight!
