i dont think its been mentioned on here yet that the same controller brought his daughter to work the day after this happened and let her make two calls to aircraft!
i think the big issue for most people on here is the WHAT IF something went wrong,we all know nothing did but just suppose it did, just say dad got distracted like in the areoflot accident or the controller who was joking on the phone when one of his aircraft dropped out of radio contact just before it hit a helicopter.
if an accident had of happened would it still of all been just a bit of fun?
