Thanks to the Raspberry Pi team for sharing this one - a Pi-based flight tracker. The idea is to receive signals, from aircraft transponders, and track flights.

Aviation Disasters and the IT World
Aviation Disasters and the IT World
I have a fondness for watching documentaries about aviation disasters.
Now, before you judge me as someone with a psychological disorder–we all slow down when we see an accident on the highway, but planes crashing into each other or the ground?–let me explain why I watch these depressing films and what it has to do with IT work.
I should start by noting that, as a private pilot, I have a direct interest in why aviation accidents happen. Learning from others’ mistakes is an important part of staying safe up there.
reagan airport when two commercial planes had to land on their own. the tower is apparently unmanned. called on the phone and nobody s answering. so that aircraft went in without control. the faa has since required more than one controller on limited late night duty. incredible. kyle bailey is an aviation analyst and joins us to break this down. we saw the report, the numbers are pretty interesting. 2 out of 10 and 5 out of 0 say the reason is fatigue. how concerned should we be about the findings of these report? i m not deeply concerned at this point. any commercial airliner has traffic collision avoidance systems which are very complex instruments which alert the pilot to any airplanes in the surrounds. the critical point is takeoff or landing.
