Rice Whine:

The only "load of bollocks" in this whole mess is that the presence of the third person (who happens to be a female radar assistant) was not immediately communicated to the either the D.A. or, indeed, the public by Skyguide, who - in retrospect - have obviously had umpteen opportunities to correct their initial version of events, which - until the third person version surfaced - officially only included two ATCs, one of whom was taking a break at the time of the disaster.

Whatever your point of view about Skyguide's culpability in the mid-air collison per se, their cooperation with the investigating authorities, the judiciary and the media are an absolute disgrace. If their public interfacing is anything to go by, their operation procedures cannot hold up to scrutiny.
