mid air collision over britain - anyone watching

[shellybelly]

how very scary

???

I gather this is a TV programme or film?

its on sky one, one of those what if it happened things, apparently 200 planes almost collided last year over britains airspace, this is showing a dramatisation of what the reality would be if it actually happened

200planes at separate times thought right?

would think so

So how does one plane get so close to other planes?
Omg - what a scarey thought

apparently south east well down south has one of the busiest airspaces in the world, so imagine an air traffic controller trying to direct numerous planes to landing taking off and all the time making sure they dont collide

Blimey, got enough to worry about with what does happen.

very scary isnt it

Now thats a job that would lead to red cheeks and huge sighs!
What a huge responsibility - and quite strange to think of all that commotion going on below us when we are sitting in a seat 33'000ft in the air pondering over whether to have a slice of lemon in that tea or milk!

I live on a third floor flat (the top) not too far from London City Airport. Especially since the bombings my heart stops everytime I hear an aircraft sounding slightly odd (which is surprisingly often). I'm convinced that one is going to crash into us.

don't usually watch sky one and the programme next sunday sounds even worse, this is why i love me soaps daft tv

just asked dh who the narrator is coz i recognised the voice, sean pertwee phwaorrrrrr
