Nothing like selling a story for something that DID NOT happen. And to begin your post with " Another amazing failure at a US airport " was just as misleading at the story itself.
Where was the failure ? If I read the story correctly, the US ATC at the US airport avoided the catastrophe that " could have been " by the PILOT who screwed up! There was no failure, too bad the story didn't read:
" Swift action by Air Traffic Controller at a US Airport prevents what could have been"
