Take what you are saying as I am sure everyone here is devastated and shocked by this dreadful accident but the fact of the matter is that those poor people have gone.

That makes the rest of us more aware of the potential for a midair and what we can do or not do to avoid something simular.
it also makes us more aware of where the risk holes are more concentrated and the possibilities of where and how technology can help to make a midair less likely.

Sitting and waiting for some report months down the line on what is obvious (the obvious being that for whatever reason two aircraft did not see each other and collided ) is not going to help us now to avoid a simular occurence.
Remember another collision could occur to any of us posting in this forum tomorrow not months away after some AAIB report. Accidents dont wait for the posting of AAIB reports!

Chatting here even if it achieves nothing but making us more allert to the potential of a midair has to be good surely?
