Angry Learned nothing !

Once again the journalists at their best !

quote from the BBC site mentionned above :
____________________________________________________
She has also asked for a sentence of three years and 10 months for air traffic controller Paolo Zacchetti, who was on duty on the day of the crash.


Relatives of some of the victims have also expressed their dissatisfaction.

"To think that those who killed 118 people should get eight years makes us a little angry," the president of the victims' association, Paolo Pettinaroli,
________________________________________________

As 99,99% of the readers of that Press news bulletin will never read the full accident report, they have the cause of the crash as they believe the BCC is a serious organisation .
Again by naming the controller and by putting these sentences next to each other , one gets the impression that this controller really is responsible for killing 118 persons ! Exactly like the Ueberlingen collision press coverage, with the consequences that we all know.

I do not know if I should be mad or just extremely sad.

We are not going to improve safety with this.
