You make a good point, and I’m sure someone in the FAA or NTSB will consider how low vis ops are handled in other countries. Perhaps some procedures may be implemented here stemming from this incident.
Yep - hope so.

Is there a shortage of ATCOs in the U.S. or a shortage of money to pay for them in the system.

And yes wizardry. Even in my lowly position as an A/G operator I have a touch screen device where I can move an aeroplane on to the runway and anyone in the final or climb out aera will result in both images flashing. Before that we had pins and a board. Is there a shortage of resource for wizardry too.
