Or every aircraft should have a tracker or something so other aircrafts know when there's another one nearby.

Smells fishy that something like this could happen in this day and age,

There is a universal system that monitors local traffic.  One aircraft talks to another outside of Air Traffic Control.  If two aircraft get too close, the system tells one pilot to go one direction and the other to go the other.  It is essentially foolproof......however it is deactivated below 900 feet to account for false positives upon runway approach.
