Motion sick air traffic controllers at ARN?


Air traffic controllers complain about motion sickness

Air traffic controllers at Sweden's biggest airport in Stockholm say they are falling ill because their tower sways in the wind.

The 270-foot high tower sways nearly a centimetre each way when the wind blows more than 33 miles per hour.

Instead, Johansson said controllers who get queasy will be sent downstairs to "relax on firm ground" until they feel better.
