Fair call, the controller did feel there was a safty aspect in that.

So they decided to let the student go around.

That was the problem, controller didn't get the student to "go
around" (like they should have) but instead to perform a non-standard

accident. A young boy of 16 needlessly lost his life because of a
couple of mistakes, he can't learn from it, but we can.
