i may be covering old ground here, but were the authories at the airport not guilty of gross negligence,( I'm not refering to the controllers) .The airport authorities ordered and had delivery of a high tec state-of-the-art ground movement tracking system which actually sat in it's packing case for a couple of years, the airport authorities failing to install it, relying on the old faulty system. After the crash i believe the system was installed within 6 weeks.

Someone is responsible for the decision not to install it, this crash wouldn't have happened if it had been installed as the GMC would have spotted the citation going the wrong way.

I think the actual person responsible for the decision not to install the new system, not the controllers, should face the full force of the law.

i shall put my soap box away now.
