alt Hacker NewsI’m not trying to minimize a tragedy, but maybe this is almost the perfect wake up call?
Not many fatalities but nevertheless a spectacular collision. At a major hub airport in a major city. It’s hard to look away from, the cause is obvious, and all that without hundreds of deaths.

There are no "wake up calls" in America. If nothing changed after Sandy Hook, then nothing was ever going to change.
In the future, you'll wear your cow collar, own nothing, and like it.

It's not minimizing, it's galvanizing. 100% A wake up call. I don't fly much but I was bothered by the earlier ATC stories and now I don't feel safe at all.

Imagine how good the next wake up call will be!
