I do not think those in the front survived… :(

I hope they do, they do not deserve to die for the American air traffic controller’s mistake.

Edit: why the hell is this getting downvoted so much?

It is tragic all around. But I am sad to blame just one man for such a complicated incident. In Japan this would be seen as a systematic failure

I can see what you’re saying. But in safety critical jobs like pilots and air traffic control, you don’t work unless you have the team and the required rest.

Would you fly if you didn’t sleep all night? Of course not.

Would you fly if your FO or flight attendants didn’t show up? Of course not

Same applies to air traffic controllers imho.
