Gentlemen,
My condolences to the families of the victims. Why is it that when something like this happens, everyone jumps on the 'Yank-bashing-they-are-so-gash' wagon. It's pathetic! Never forget, that we all rely on the US to take the initiative on any campaign, after which we merrily lot-in to look good for the press. As for their standard of training.....I defy any other nation to suggest that they have their proverbial Sh*t sorted more than the Yanks. Accidents happen. Who knows what the thought process that led to this tragic incident was? Was it a case of 'different-nations-different NOTAM-system? What exactly was said on the radios? The simple answer is WE DON'T KNOW YET! Stop jumping on the band wagon. Flaps, i'm ashamed of you. You obviously haven't trained with the Yanks much. Once again, regrets to the families.
