My question is, if there was an accident, who would be to blame?
No. Some of these aircraft would have had their altitude adjusted as it moved from sector to sector. Since this could not happen fast enough, some planes almost got too close. My question is, if planes did collide, who would be at fault?lowing wrote:

"the outage caused confusion and tension among controllers in Miami, who had trouble establishing and maintaining aircraft identification because enough flight plan information was not available through their computers,"
