Two Melbourne air traffic controllers have been stood down after preliminary investigations into the death of six people aboard a plane which crashed on a flight from Bankstown to the Victorian town of Benalla two months ago.
It is standard practice to stand down any ATC who has been involved in any incident/accident, subject to an investigation.
True. But the controllers would have been stood-down immediately after the incident.
So why is this news 2 months later? Is there any new information that has come to light that might explain this ?
