I was just interested in the magazine, Thomas.  My uninformed opinion is 
that he accident was a shameful travesty caused by a complete lack of 
attention to the fundamentals of ground movement that borders on 
criminal negligence...see and be seen.  Why were airplanes of vastly 
different sizes having to do S-turns to taxi in an extremely crowded 
environment?  Not enough volunteers to assign a wing walker to each 
plane without forward visibility?  Then either pay for some help, or 
admit you can't handle the load and shut down the airport.  But I guess 
having a few less airplanes there would have an impact on the success of 
the show wouldn't it?  Or maybe they wouldn't show as much profit if 
they had to pay a temp agency a few $ for some minimum wage flackeys to 
walk beside some airplanes?

Oh, I need to stop.  I get so upset, not that an accident occurred, but 
the callous response to it when there is such a simple solution that 
would guarantee that it never happened in the first place.
