Communication...Communication! ATC failed! If the TCAS was turned off, ATC should have picked up on it!
You're right. Lots of mistakes/errors made that day. The only good that came out of it was the landing of the Legacy by the Americans. I feel badly for all who died.
YO
Truly unreal, Brazil should be ashamed of themselves as it was 100% ATC error putting both planes on a collision course and altitude! This makes me afraid to fly my Embraer Phenom 300 in Brazil airspace or pick up a new Embraer in Brazil and fly it back to USA!

Poo Poo runs downhill. When a scapegoat is readily available and from a foreign country the slope of the hill gets much steeper. Too bad good people get tarred with this.
BOTH AIRCRAFT HAVE TO HAVE THEIR TCAS ON TO GET A RESOLUTION. The first audible is "traffic, traffic". You are then supposed to get a visual on the other aircraft. If nothing is done the next audible is a command (resolution) to DO SOMETHING! Modern glass cockpits also have a visual display of all aircraft within a certain distance and altitude from each other. I'm certain both the aircraft here had this display. I'm afraid either both or one of them didn't have theirs ON. Who's to blame? Yes, ATC failed in their job but that's what TCAS is for. It should be known by the FDR and or CVR.
