Interesting. As in "oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die"
Sounds like the ATC guys saw the glider from the primary return and the glider didn't have a Mode C or Mode S transponder. If he had, the ATC unit would have known his altitude and he would have shown up on the airliner's TCAS which would have made the airline pilot a whole lot happier.
I wonder why the glider pilot didn't seem to see the approaching airliner? At 3000 feet the 757 wouldn't be going all that fast and it is large.
