But cowboy ATC, you yanks have got that covered nicely.
Fact: Asiana 214was established on final for 28L at SFO 14 miles from the threshold and at 4300 ft altitude, slightly below a normal glide slope. Hardly a slam dunk by any measure. Now given that, I'd be fascinated to hear you explain why you think "Cowboy ATC" was a factor in the subsequent crash.

For extra credit you can explain how cowboy ATC caused Southwest to rip their nosegear off at LGA and UPS to crash at Birmingham.
