make a mistake, recognize it, and then have to continue on your job, knowing you likely just killed people, because if you don't others will die.

The weight of some jobs is immense, and our civilization relies upon workers to shoulder the burden everyday.

He asked the truck to stop multiple times. That's got to be so stressful and annoying - knowing you asked the truck to stop, but for whatever reason the command wasn't received.

And these guys are tremendously overworked because the government can’t get its shit together to hire enough people to staff at appropriate levels.

Our civilization? Nah. Just that one shithole country. Greatest country in the world and they schedule a single guy to work both tower and ground frequencies at a major airport, it's almost like they're asking for this shit to happen.

And before anyone mentions understaffing, this literally one of the plethora of problems that the rest of the world figured out while the U.S. continues to act special.
