Is anyone else out there wondering what in the heck happened here? For
instance, what about the TCAS systems on both these planes? Were they
working and what did they say? Were they talking to ATC and what was being
said? Were they in cruise flight or were they in the terminal area? Did
the Embraer jet hit the 737 in it's Achilles heel to bring in down nose
first while the smaller jet landed without incident or injury?

Hard to say with what little data has come to light thus far. I did
read today that they are holding the American pilots hostage until they
investigate further.

If the wingtip of the small jet sliced through the cockpit of the 737,
it wouldn't be hard to bring it down.
