Ueberlingen collision Trial started

The trial is prosecuting for the moment 8 Skyguide ( the Swiss ATC Service provider ) officials. after the collision that occured on 02 July 2002.

It Started last Tuesday, with the audition of 2 senior management staff of Zurich ACC, who rejected all responsibility, and declared that the " fault" lies solely with the air traffic controller on duty that night ( who unfortunately will not be there to defend himsef ).

But the judge seem to want to look deeper into the system, and he could overturn some stones.

The trial is expected to last a few weeks.
