Those who come to gape are the ones who should apologize. They watch Lisa Thomas Laurie and Jim Gardner, or buy the Daily/Local or Mercury for the daily car crashes on the front page. The difference is that this picture now includes details from which responsible people learn. That is what news is all about - learning.
Pilots lost track of a Cessna and did not report same to control tower. Control tower knew of impending collision but ignored it since too many alarms were normal. Humans failing to do their job by 'ignoring the details' is the summary. Now we must ask who was in charge of control tower operations because 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. The whole logical process of how failures happen is why this picture and story are so important.
As I note so many times previously, Channel 6 Action News never reports news. They report hype. They would flood the screens with the topmost picture, but never report nine reasons why the crash occured nor demonstrate how human failure causes catastrophy.
Excellent hyperlinks now make the picture appropriate. Quality poster who demonstrates how Lisa Thomas Laurie, et al should be doing her job.
