Yes, I too was somewhat puzzled by the high speed train crash "a few hundred yards from Waverley station" but I think the more vital facts about the air crash seem to be lacking too....
In my position (a mere ATPL student) I am unable to form an informed verdict. Like bookworm I too would like to know what happens in the tower during a missed approach at LHR to ensure aircraft seperation. In the programme there was virtually no communication between the 3 ATCOs controlling the approaching and departing A/C!? I have heard a 'go around alarm' mentioned, anyone care to elaborate?
Cheers,
TQ
