Just a side bar – I was wondering how much time and money ATSB will spend investigating the SAAB event; which could actually be handled by the internal company SMS. Essentially, this has probably been a 'system/human factors ' failure. Many, many SAAB aircraft floating about the planet, how many loading and unloading events take place everyday, without incident?– Lots is a reasonable answer.
But, there's not too many mid-air events; and yet ATSB refuse to waste 'resources' on the second mid-air in recent history and provide any sort of 'advice' or recommendation to prevent another. Six deaths; two separate events; similar airspace and no answers to prevent a repeat.
Watch the video below; this is how fast and final a mid-air collision is. Clear skies; experienced crew, radio control, air show protocols and yet – it's all over in seconds; just like that. NTSB will investigate this event; ATSB will poodle about seeking answers to what is probably a human/systematic cock-up; signifying nothing more than that, yet six people dead in two collisions – and they've no resources? BOLLOCKS.
