    TCAS was a relatively new technology at the time of the accident, having been mandatory[Note 2] in Europe since 2000.

    Two years prior to the accident, in Europe, where the accident happened.

        Yours wasn’t a question, it was a statement, and a wrong one. TCAS adherence wasn’t fundamentally changed after the accident in question, but it brought to light it’s importance.

        So let’s come back to the original argument: following the erroneous instructions of atc over the TCAS resulted in the accident - if they had followed TCAS, like the DHL crew, they’d be alive.
