Unhappy Programme about Ueberlingen Collision

There's a programme on UK TV tonight, National Geographic Channel, at 2100 about the Ueberlingen collision. The way they have been flogging it on commercial radio today I guess it must the first outing. I doubt I'll see it, I don't have control of the remote in this house.

Incidentally, came across this whilst doing a little research http://www.vialls.com/tupolev/tupolev.htm Good grief. Sorry, if this has been done before.

It was a very sad programme - I didn't know that the ATC officer was killed by one of the grieving parents. A real tragedy all round.
