Uberlingen

JetSet Willy: see Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937. Note how TCAS was a contributing factor in the accident.

One of the ATCOs involved was subsequently killed by a Russian man who lost his wife and children on the flight. However a court found management guilty, not the ATCOs. In this industry Uberlingen has something of the same connotations as "9/11".
