    Larry's right, when I was in the situation were an airliner went down
I notified traffic and they got in touch with the agency to decide
whether to pull the spots, generally they did however, they didn't
normally pull spots for airlines if the plane that went down was private
or military, but I always notified traffic who let the agency make the
call.
