    The ATC controller was murdered some months after the collision by a relative of one of the passengers

    Russia, land of murderers who are lauded as heroes & incompetent airline pilots.

    Yep, because shi!tting all over the memory of people who made the wrong call during a situation that should never have been allowed to develop in the first place is completely appropriate behavior.

    this has happened far more recently

    was watching an atc documentary recently and cant remember the airport but, airliner one coming into airspace gets a collision notification and told to climb airliner two gets one and is told the same thing they start climbing. human atc controller is shouting at one of them to descend but they refuse. you can hear the stress in the atc's voice as she was trying to get them to change course but they decided to trust the computer. she saw the icons collide on screen and then seperate having missed each other by some stupidly small amount.

    she was unable to return to regular duties for more then a year. cant remember the lead up to it but it was a different controllers fault for the situation getting that bad
