Unfortunately, it's not the only one. Another Zurich controller was sentenced today.

The incident was the famous close encounter between two simultaneously departing aircraft on crossing runways in March 2011. The controller, who is no longer operational in skyguide, has been sentenced by the Cantonal Court of Zurich to a pecuniary fine of 90 daily rates of 210 swiss francs. The decision, not yet final, overturns the decision of the District Court of Bülach (ZH), which two years ago had come to the conclusion that the ATCO can not be held responsible for an accident that ultimately did not occur.
It's very difficult to accept to all the community here in Switzerland and the ATCO are really sad. It's the second in few months and we also have a third one in judgment for another incident happened in Zurich. (
