Langewiesche on the Mid-air Collision over Brazil

It's been out there for at least a couple of weeks, but I've just discovered William Langewiesche's lengthy article about the mid-air collision between an executive jet and a 737 over the Amazon rainforest that killed over 150 in September, 2006. It's in the January Vanity Fair.

Let's all read it then meet back here. You might also consider another pilot's view on the Cranky Flier.
