Skyguide spokesman Patrick Heer (L) walks past waiting media as he enters the court before the verdict of the Skyguide trial in Buelach, September 4, 2007. A Swiss court pronounced four managers at air traffic control firm Skyguide guilty of manslaughter on Tuesday over a 2002 mid-air accident that killed 71 passengers, most of them Russian children. On trial were eight Skyguide employees charged with manslaughter for contributing to unusual circumstances that caused the disaster in Swiss-controlled airspace near the southern German town of Ueberlingen.
