EL AL B747 Crash in AMS in Oct 1992
Just been watching the trial by media ( Live coverage on TV of parlamentary inquiry ) of 2 controllers involved in the above crash. It seems that some politicians and/or high officials decided to keep secret to the public ( and to the people involved in recovering debris ) that the cargo manifest included extremely dangerous poison gases and explosives, ammunitions, etc..) Now the 2 controllers that received the tel call from ELY on the cargo manifest and passed it on apparently to their superiors are the ones sitting in front of the parlementary inquiry and at the receiving end of the nasty questions...while the rescuers, by now all suffering from various diseases and handicaps, are screaming their anger at the ATC guys because they knew and did not tell.... politic stinks....
