It’s not talked enough about how the air traffic controller was murdered by a father who lost his kids and that father served less than 2 years. This wasn’t even the controller’s fault. How are you supposed to do your job properly with faulty equipment all around you and no help? The fact that most people don’t care that this man was murdered makes me sick to my stomach. Poor guy.

@dafttassia1960 Год назад

Even the comments dont pity him it seems. That father was hurt and he decided he had to hurt somebody else. Now an innocent man is dead and the father is probably still hurt.

@Scott-G11 Год назад

In the case of Peter, I dont think it was quite as simple as most commentators make it out to be. Nobody wants anyone murdered, however Peter had plenty of time to get that other controller back that took an extended break when they started shutting systems down. Anyone with that type of responsibility should be more than knowledgeable enough to call for help from his coworkers in that situation. I personally put a significant amount of responsibility on Peter for not getting the other controller back the instant the maintenance crew started shutting things down. That's just common sense when people's lives are at stake.

Pretty stupid that International Air Traffic ‘Rules’ prevent the controller in Germany from talking to the pilots directly when he could get hold of the Swiss Controller. That’s ridiculous.

Understanding the controller delima, one by one his systems were being shut off for maintainence, not at a good time. RIP all that were involved.

The dhl flight did what they needed to do, even when realizing conflict with another aircraft in sky, followed there system. Perhaps in other cultures, that may not be the norm.

@@maggienesin2448 Well, this wouldn’t have happened if whomever was operating the ATC site had a much better maintenance plan than disrupting active traffic monitoring with hundreds or thousands of people in the air. Phones AND radar? You don’t even need ATC experience to think “Ummm…what?” when handed that situation. They had no advance notice that work was going to be done on the 2 most vital systems ATC needs, and put in place a plan to prevent disruption? Obviously that was a lethally negligent move in terms of safety, hundreds of times over.

I semi agree with your comment, however every person has a different mindset as to whats right and what's wrong. Even though the laws in place may disagree. If your entire family was killed because a controller was too stupid to call for help when they started shutting systems down, then I place most if not all the blame on Peter. Now I'm not condoning murder however some peoples minds go to a different level when their entire family is killed and I honestly think that an eye for an eye was justified. If you can live with forgiving someone that killed your entire family, then you'd better hope your dead family members forgive your decision. Especially when they look down on you living without avenging them.

@jonathandpg6115 5 месяцев назад

stop blaming the controller. Just by your comment, you sound you are too stupid to even be able to do the job of ATC. Being overloaded in work isn’t always obvious. It was busy sure, but I am sure he felt like it’s fine he can handle it at the time….humans often face uncomfortable situations that they CAN handle. We know NOW that it was too much for him because we know the results of the impact. However, you have to remember to put yourself in HIS shoes at the time. He also didn’t have anyway to contact anyone for help. The phones where down. WHICH IS A CRITICAL FAILURE. Sometimes you have to remember that more important that blaming a person, you have to verify the systems and checks in place. Humans WILL make mistakes, it’s inevitable. It’s about how do we do it to ensure that those mistakes are caught early on and rectified.

I've watched this documentary so many times and something about the seconds before impact is really saddening to me. Both sets of pilots were not in the immediate collision, meaning that they did not instantly die on impact. One plane, pilots were sent in a free fall before losing consciousness. The other plane, they watched in horror as their controls did nothing and the plane had no chance of landing. Imagine being on that plane and struggle to keep dozens of peoples lives safe when you know death is happening no matter what. It's very chilling, and I think the actors of the pilots did an amazing job playing the roles.

I agree it’s just heart wrenching, I’ve watched this episode at least 5 times and it never fails to not only deeply effect me, but also I’m stunned by the string of errors and misunderstandings that together to caused this tragedy,

@marjoriemorris5849 2 года назад

I don’t know that another air traffic controller could’ve done anything different that night. The phones being down, the maintenance, the information being two minutes behind real time, Peter working basically alone, multitasking on two screens with so many flights. Someone was going to be a scapegoat that night, and it was Peter.

@aewtx 2 года назад

Yes, it was. He wasn't paying attention, plain and simple. He didn't even stick around to check that it didn't crash, but went off on to other things. In that moment of crisis he should have made sure to see it through, confirmed an accident had indeed been averted, instead of just thinking it did. See it through completion.

I just saw this video 30 minutes ago, and I'm in tears since the father found his daughter in the field and I'm still in tears. Please, let's learn to be more grateful for the gift of life, for the beauty of family and children. Let's wake up and learn and become aware of how the precious gift of life and love is continuously destroyed intentionally be evil powers through war, poisonous food, fake pan de mics and more atrocities against humanity. This was an accident showing us that suffering is deep and real and that we should protect life and stand up for Truth, Justice, Freedom, Love and Peace. ⭐💜✌️
