So, Members if the Jury, who is to blame for this near catastrophic mid-air over the airport?

SW for taking too long to get moving?
FedX for trundling down the glideslope when cleared to land?
Or ATC for lacking SA in foggy conditions and issuing unsafe clearances to BOTH aircraft?

Sorry, but as a former ATCO at very busy Mil airfields, I blame ATC 100%. The rest is semi-aligned cheese-holes.
