About The Mid-Air Collision Of Flight 2937 And Flight 611 | Mayday S2 EP4
A plane carrying a group of children collided with a DHL cargo craft when an overstretched Zurich air traffic controller's equipment failed. 71 people died in the crash. Peter Nielsen recognized the threat of the crash a minute before it happened and contacted flight 2937 to descend from their flight path. Unfortunately, the automated air collision alert system also instructed Flight 611 to descend to the same altitude. Peter was the only air traffic controller, overstretched and unaware that collision warning systems had been turned off for maintenance. Peter Nielsen was later murdered by a man who felt Nielsen was personally responsible for the crash. Revealing the dark truth that aviation safety improves one crash at a time, Mayday investigates legendary aviation disasters to find out what went wrong and why.
