Blood slightly boiling again...

Do I not like that BBC report.

Grossly oversimplified and written by someone who has clearly never spoken to an ATCO or a Pilot in their life.

"...but insists the attack on Mr Nielsen, who died in front of his own three children, was not already premeditated."

So he just flew to ZRH, checked-in at the Welcome Inn Kloten by the airport, glanced at www.tel.search.ch and www.map.search.ch where you can get the names and addresses of everyone in the country, bought a large knife in Migros, walked down the hill, past the Pizza place at Wilden Mann, up the hill again, waited outside his house and then just accidentally killed him.

And would I do the same in his position?
Having lost my wife and children like that.

I don't know. But if I didn't know the airline and ATC industries, I probably would be trying to blame "someone". And I might not be very rational about it.

But I do still wonder who told the accused the name of the ATCO...
