Too much Monday Morning Quarterbacking.

hey I'm not the one suggesting the controller should have said go right instead of left. But I'll admit its a fair point.

Bottom line, that first call: traffic, 12 o'clock 2 miles opposite direction - ..close in altitude, is good info and more than a lot of us get when we end up finding ourselves close to another aircraft. It's a shame that was not enough to prevent the accident.
