Controller caught asleep at the screen

Food for thought, just try not to get indigestion:

Apparently it was actually a TRACON facility, not the Boise control tower. But still... I do commend the helicopter pilots for taking appropriate action when attempts to contact failed. It's unclear how the drug test came out, or what disciplinary action the FAA is going to take. I would imagine they will probably try to keep it quiet so not to alarm the public.
