BBC NEWS | Europe | Silence for slain air controller
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3728541.stm
Quote:
The former controller was in charge of traffic over Lake Constance late on 1 July 2002 when the incident happened.
Most of those killed in the air crash were Russian schoolchildren
The collision, in which Mr Kaloyev lost his wife, son and daughter, involved a charter flight carrying more than 50 Russian children and a DHL cargo jet.
A preliminary report into the accident found that the controller told the pilot of the Russian plane to descend when its onboard collision warning equipment was telling it to climb.
It was also revealed that only one controller had been on duty when the collision happened. His partner had been on a break.
