July 1, 2002, Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937, registration RA-85816, was a Tupolev 154M passenger jet en route from Moscow, Russia to Barcelona, Spain. DHL Flight 611, registration A9C-DHL, was a Boeing 757-200 cargo jet flying from Bergamo, Italy to Brussels, Belgium. The two aircraft collided in mid-air on at 21:35 (UTC) over Überlingen, Germany (near Lake Constance), killing all 71 aboard both aircraft. German investigators determined that the accident had been caused by problems within the air traffic control system[1]; and the controller who was on duty at the time, Peter Nielsen, was later stabbed to death by an architect who lost his wife and both of his children in the accident.

By killingamps [Affiliate User] 1200827581 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveActually......., its operational procedure to follow TCAS instructions, the RUSSIAN pilot broke procedure by following ATC. But the ATC didnt know there was a TCAS instruction, because his screen was operating on minimal due to maintenance.
By whiteb89 [Affiliate User] 1200564035 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveTCAS stands for Traffic Collision & Avoiding System. It is a system that tell you (climbing or decline)to prevent a mid air collision.The system are developed because of the tragedy mid air Collision Over LA. Since the use of TCAS,the re is no other mid air collision in US.

By moose6692 [Affiliate User] 1199192026 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewhy did the traffic do that then? it probably says in the video...
By 1Cmanny1 [Affiliate User] 1199122046 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAnyway, the ATC controller responsible for the mess was stabbed and killed by one of the parent of one of kids killed in the Tupolev.
By acheroncyc [Affiliate User] 1199026873 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveBecause the Tu-154 pilots where trained to prioritize ATC's orders over TCAS orders.
By acheroncyc [Affiliate User] 1199026555 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIm going to explain it to anyone who does not understand.
TCAS (The automatic system that is meant to avoid collisions) was telling the DHL pilots to decend. So they did. And, at the same time, Bashkirian Airlines flight was given instructions from TCAS to climb. This would have meant the 2 planes would have avoided each other. But Bashkirian Airlines was told from the Air Traffic Controller to decend.
is it just me but if u look carefully when the nose of the tuplauve is falling you can see people falling out of the fusalage. Scary S**t that must REALLY F**kING S**k !!
the two things that make this storey sad is that half of the poeplemwho died were school children between the ages of 10-15 and the ATC person ended up getting murdered by a griefer who lost his whole family in the disaster
You'd be saying it too if you were in a 600 kph vertical dive. :-P
