Liver Transplant Succeeds After Crash http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/1777-full.html#203670 The liver, however, was unscathed. So, while the whole-person casualties were looked after, a policeman scooped up the liver and put it on his motorcycle for the trip to the hospital, where it was pronounced healthy. About four hours later it was doing what livers do inside the patient, who was in stable condition at last report. |

Thanks John. Good to hear someting positive from this.
In the US I believe you aren't allowed below minima for an approach when flying commercial. In General Aviation it happens that sometimes there is a "go down for a look see"....... My speculation was going that route. It was just that with all those advanced avionics this airplane has, it is a wake up call that a pilot can be where he doesn't want to be and crashes. In spite of all the EGPWS!
Cheers.

We were walking from the NEC arena to our hotel when it happened. We saw a Dash 8 take-off just after 15:35, must have been the last movement before it happened. Alex commented how all flights seemed to have halted before we heard the news.

Oddly enough, today's notams mentioned that Rwy 15's (ILS) glidepath was unavailable at Birmingham...
