I haved watched the video 5 times. Can you please explain to me how you come to you emphatic conclusion?
I would say the controller did nothing wrong except give a simple instruction in English that 2 pilots did not comply with.
“....Once clear of the Turkish A321, continue taxiing for.....”
The same instructions pilots get EVERYDAY from controllers.
The common factor in this crash, is one of the Airline’s involved. And I am not talking about the one missing a tail.
