The Day Britain Stopped
TONIGHT BBC2, 2100hrs BST
A powerful TV drama is being shown on Beeb 2 tonight about a ficticious event in the future, 19th December 2003 when Britian is paralysed by transport meltdown.
Included in this program as the "aviation" component is a midair collision over Hounslow (east of LHR) between a pax airliner and a "Czech" freighter.... mmmm.
An26 perhaps?
The collision is due to an overworked terminal controller making the "wrong" decision during a go-around and causing 2x aircraft to collide.
It will be interesting to see how facutal/detailed this inactment will be.
The author is said to be an advisor of the Civil Aviation Authority and senior ATC body saying it is an accident waiting to happen.
