Speaking English

I discovered an interesting clip on YouTube claiming to be the recording of a "near-miss" at Aruba. I performed a search on PPRuNe but couldn't find mention of it.

YouTube - US Air - Santa Barbara near miss

Sounds like a good example of why we should all be speaking English regardless of the language spoken locally.

From the sounds of it TCAS potentially saved the day?

I had a glance.... plenty of garbage on Youtube. Wonder why so many "near misses" aren't reported.

pilotboy 95.... I HOPE you were trying to amuse us with your post !

If not, you are seriously in need of downloading a spell-checker and possibly some English language classes.

Why ironic?

Did you actually bother listening to the recording?
