The controller was six hours into an eight-hour shift at the Denver Center, which oversees aircraft flying in more than nine states, when the Federal Aviation Administration officials entered the center and administered a drug and alcohol test to the controller, whom co-workers believed had a substance abuse problem.
Which would lead one to believe that this particular controller was singled out, presumably because someone had noticed he was a problem in need of correction, yet in the video, the reporter states that it was a "random" test. I wonder which is the true story?
