For those of you still waiting for the regulatory fallout from the
glider vs jet crash here in the US:

Quote of interest from the article:

"The main question the investigation must address is how can this
happen with two ultramodern aircraft with collision-preventing
equipment," he said.

Gol said the jet that crashed had been delivered by Boeing Co. just
three weeks ago and had been flown for only 200 hours.
