Just found out a friend of my granddaughter's was on that plane. She was in several of her classes and they hung out together with some other young ladies at the University.

This will affect a lot of the girls who were friends with this young lady who was returning back home...

This is really sad...

SO many families tonight missing loved ones. I cannot imagine how they must feel..

WTH happened that there was NO COLLISION WARNING from the software being used by the ATC ?

Both aircraft would have had Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) systems in the cockpits. This article:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/tcas-mid-air-collsiion-1.7445751
says they may be inoperative at low altitudes.

This may change (IMHO).
