Default jet vs jet crash in brazil - 155 likely dead

Here is a stunning article from one of the passengers of the corporate
jet:

No words about any collision warning. Very odd.

Quote of interest from the article:

"The main question the investigation must address is how can this
happen with two ultramodern aircraft with collision-preventing
equipment," he said.

Gol said the jet that crashed had been delivered by Boeing Co. just
three weeks ago and had been flown for only 200 hours.
