"Catastrophic failure" of ATC system

Reported in a local newspaper Ming Pao, there are serious safety concerns over our new ATC system AT3 which is under testing.

Quoted from sources from "internal CAD document", the testing of AT3 suffered a "catastrophic failure" in late July and the system was "paralyzed" during testing. Despiste of this, people from the "higher level" insisted the reliability test be given a "pass".

According to the report, a local legislator received annonymous complaint letters, allegedly sent from CAD staff, stated serious concerns over the new ATC system.

Sorry it is only available in Chinese but the point illustrated below is one of the issues which is overlapping of labels. And the texts on the left contrasted the views between "frontline staff" and "CAD response", and it is not hard to guess who is on which side.



Can we trust this new system?
