I guess someone was tired of getting bad routing. "No I don't want to go direct KELSI for a flight from Basel to Friedrichshafen!"

In all seriousness, sad.

Reading that brought this tragedy to mind:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Überlingen_mid-air_collision

". . . .On 24 February 2004, Peter Nielsen, the controller who was on duty at the time of the accident, was stabbed to death by Vitaly Kaloyev who had lost his wife and two children in the accident"
