An earlier post light-heartedly (I think) speculated on how the UK media would have covered the Lan Chile event near NZ. I thought of that when I heard a radio station here promoting a program that was going to discuss the event. The radio station suggested in its promo that the "the space debris passed so close they drowned out the sound of the aircraft engines as they (the space debris) passed" or words very similar to those.

Hmmm...think its time all space craft and debris were given a squawk and FIS.
This will obviously prevent any future pandemonium, and will simply result in a few extra airprox's every year........DESCEND DESCEND...INCREASE DESCENT TO 17800000FT/MIN...........CLEAR OF CONFLICT....
....Heathrow Approach.."Space Debris 26 expect hold at Compton".....

What a load of CRxP was reported in the Times yesterday, made me thoughts known to what was a very fine news paper.
