Notes:

Seen out of the window of my Emirates A310 is this Bashkirian Airlines Tu154M, which unfortunately was written off on July 1st 2002 when it collided in mid-air with a DHL 757, the crash killing all involved including the air traffic controller working the flights, as he was murdered later on by a relative of one of the victims. The Russian pilot apparently ignored the advice of the TCAS system. First shot in the database of this plane with Bashkirian.

Great shot, with historical meaning! To clarify: The controller told both a/c to climb, while not keeping separation anyways.
