Why did a flight from Heathrow to Bilbao turn left after take-off from 09R?
I wondered that myself...

The biggest omission that I could see was the absence of TCAS. Whilst the events over the German/Swiss border last summer prove it is not the be all and end all, it is definitely a major cotributor to safety after all else fails.

I guess it was ignored to make the programme more shocking.
