Britain: Air traffic control 'on brink of failure'

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Grassroots Information Coordination Center (GICC) : One Thread

A confidential report warns that
an unreliable communications
system could lead to a "major
incident" in the skies unless it is
rapidly improved.

. . .

One warns that a new telephone and radio system has
recently failed several times, and says: "I feel a rapid
improvement is essential before a major incident occurs. I
feel a serious failure of the systems is imminent without
rapid improvement and I am in no way alone in this
view."

This is London

Looks like the Britain Air Traffic terminal folk should have set out some skwerl traps last year to avoid this problem!
