Date and approximate time of incident: 3/23/24 @ 1701Z (1:01 pm local)
Not a lot of news coverage of this situation, but VAS Aviation has the ATC Audio:
Incident occurs at 2:23 timestamp.

From the description:
Prior reported METAR:
231651Z 04016Kts 1SM R04/4000VP6000FT +RA BR OVC 006 08/06 A2979 SFC VIS 2 SLP 086
Seems like wind shear and a lack of situational awareness was to blame here.
The aircraft safely diverted to BWI

I would still jump on a plane first thing tomorrow morning if I knew it was destined for a cool place.

To be fair, it seems like its been a while since we have had this many issues with aircraft.
Its clear since covid people just dont want to work for a living so companies are hiring people with less of a skillset.
You cannot skimp in aviation.

Am I the only one who finds the woman ATC's demeanor on this weird?
She talks on the radio like she's hanging out with friends in a social setting more than ATC I've heard before.

She sounded (understandably) rattled after seeing a 737 coming at the tower. I doubt the ability to keep industry standard radio jargon is expected in that instance.

I have some major flights coming up (one approx 15 hrs) and am rather anxious about it. I also flew a couple of weeks ago, and booked through the airline in order to see exactly what plane type I would be on.
Yeah, yeah, it’s "safe"….but it’s still a roll of the dice. One in a zillion only feels good unless you are the one.

Listen to the tape, sounds like rotten weather that day. Wind shears. Everybody is doing go-arounds. Sounds like they got hit by a nasty gust.
NOtice they diverted. To Pittsburgh. Nowhere near NYC. Crud...

Another dei, near tragedy by shite pilot?
Just wait, they will be filling hospitals and doctor offices. Soon. The tests to be a doctor are racist

There has not been a major commercial jet crash since just after 9/11, back in 2001.

Do you mean on US soil? Because Air France 447 was a big one.
