How Safe are we in the mid air?
The air traffic controller banters and chuckles, engrossed in a teasing phone call with a giggling friend, unaware that two aircraft are on a collision course over New York’s Hudson River.
As the controller chatted on the phone, he was unaware that disaster loomed, until alerted too late by others controllers.

Its not safe at all...most of the plane crash happens due to some kinda mistake by the aviation staff...technical failure is another thing which beyond their control..This is something really scary...
This disaster could have been avoided if someone was doing the job timely and correctly... Recently there was another incident in one of the Indian airlines flights, where the Pilots abused the air hostess in mid air (30,000ft) leaving the cock pit unmanned.Pilots and ATC staff are supposed to be the key responsible personnel, sometimes perform totally irresponsible whilst on duty leaving many innocent lives at peril.
