The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

Waking this morning to the tragic crash at LGA CRJ900 vs airport fire truck during landing. A lot to unpack, but clearly this kind of thing just isn't supposed to happen.
 
I wouldn't want to be anyone involved in this accident, but the tower guy who cleared the crash truck...
 
DOT Sec Duffy "ATC staffing at LGA was at normal levels, and well staffed" (News conference going on now)

NTSB should have some comments later today

But what does "normal" mean - within historical norms? Within procedural norms? Something else entirely? (This is mostly rhetorical...)

If you have been understaffed by X% every day for a year, and you were also understaffed by X% today, then I would say today's level was normal - but not optimal.
