When Radar Fails

The world of ATC is a fascinating world.When radar fails, the team spirit reaches high levels of comradeship.Adjacent Ctlers 'feel' the need to support one another.When the Kuala Lumpur ATCC was burning back in the 90's, Ctlers who were on OFF rushed back to see what needs to be done.There was so much of cooperation from the Military and Ctlers from neighbouring countries.Such is the comradeship spirit among Ctlers. We still think ,discuss and pray for Ctlers who go thru mental tortures due to incidents/accidents in various parts of the world. With today's traffic, radar failures can be nightmares BUT then again, we are trained to handle such nightmares to the BEST of our abilities. Not forgetting too the tremendous cooperation from the pilots, things can be rectified by various methods.My two cents.
