LiveATC.net doesn't cover KBBG, which is where the pertinent audio would be. There will be tower tapes, but those don't generally become public.

Tower (& other ATC) tapes are public record, available to anyone via FOIA request (and subject to FOIA exceptions).

Federal FOIA has some flexibility in response time so it will likely be a while before these are released (if someone requests them, which I am guessing someone will given the incident).

Glad no one hurt. Can a 737 with min fuel, min crew & no pax or cargo get back in the air w/ 3700 feet of runway?

Still waiting to see the CVR transcript from the LGA wheelbarrow debacle. Has that been published anywhere yet?
