We certainly do agree about that.
I do think that everyone is laying the blame solely at the feet of ATC and from what I can see it was the result of a lot of different factors not the least of which seems to have been the poor lad's inability to remember (if indeed he really knew how) to go-around. We can't ask him so have to rely on what we are told. Stress does strange things to people and it would have been very easy for him to forget all he had been taught. No matter how mature they may appear to be, young people of his age don't always have sufficient maturity to be able to cope with situations outside their normal experience. Whatever the reason, the fact that he is no longer here is a tragedy.
Thank you very much for the apology which is much appreciated.
Whilst I am here, I must say that D&D did a brilliant job for me under difficult circumstances and I will always be grateful to them and the Emirates Airbus pilot who was eventually able to re-establish contact with me.
