For those of you who don't remember, in Feb 1991, a US 737 flying US 1493 CMH - LAX landed on top of a Skywest Metro at LAX after a busy air traffic controller accidentally cleared the Skywest Metro onto the runway. 23 of 89 people on the US 737, and all 12 on the Metro, lost their lives in the accident.
Yikes. I didn't know about this one.
