  1. Pete, you are definitely a great speaker,story teller. It's like I start listening and just have to stay for the end. The combination of the incident and your telling it, you just have to watch the whole thing. Thanks so much.

  2. I do notice that you hear other commands to other planes if you're on the same frequency. That does seem kinda scary if you're not paying total attention to the call sign. Terrible happening. Between language, listening and visibility, this was totally preventable. Sad.

  3. Wow, just seeing this again is scary. Because I know even as little as I've flown, I've been in low visibility take offs and landing. Not being prejudice, but when you're responsible for hundreds of lives, communication is a must. And I've heard comm between tower and plane. It can be complicated at it's best. Much less with a language barrier. Hell, just dealing with services on the phone is very aggravating sometimes. And that's risking 0 lives. There definitely needs to be communication clarity when lives are at stake. Pilot's and tower personal must...practice their speech and make triple sure instructions are heard and understood. Thanks again .
