Oh for crying out loud Topman ... I've tried to stay out of this one, but you're making my blood boil with the stupidity of your comments. I don't pretend to be an airline pilot or ATCO, I am a lowly PPL holder with just 75 hours. But even I can understand the basic fact that a Learjet with one engine out can make a perfectly safe landing without endangering another aircraft at the hold. What do you mean "was the Learjet not told about the 737" ??? What could the Learjet pilot DO about it, if it had already been cleared onto the runway? The only answer is "go around" and it is whilst trying to do that with only one engine that aircraft and crew came to grief.

If you're posting with the sole reason of winding people up, I think you've achieved your objective, so why not leave it there and retire?
