As one who will be interfacing up close and personal with ATC tomorrow I see it completely as a failure in the Brazilian ATC system. Now the big question is what will the people of Brazil demand next; a cover up or to use this tragedy to drag their country into the twenty-first system with a modern ATC system with well paid professional controllers. Along with this comes a modern judicial system that doesn’t go out on witch hunts looking for scapegoats but a judicial system that realizes the only way to fix problems like this that do occur is to encourage people to come forward to tell their side of the story without punishment.
It is now up to the people of Brazil to fix their ATC system.
