Its call sign is ATL and it manages 2,700 take-offs and landings everyday. An army of airport staff oversee a quarter of a million people who pass through its gates, as well as their luggage and their safety. There are more planes in the air and on the ground Friday evening - when the world's busiest airport is strained to capacity. The only way to handle it is to keep a cool head. Passenger safety and on-time performance records depend on it. Meet the engineers, tarmac operators and the rest of the crew charged with this tremendous task.
