Excelent response from LAS authorities, maybe this saved the Pilot's life, not like in Taipei some time ago, when the Captain suffered a heart attack and the F/O executed and exellent job bringing the aeroplane back to land safely, but, for God knows why, the airport authorities didn't allow an emergency equipment to the aeroplane until it had been towed all the way to the gate. This took more than 30 minutes, in such a way that when the Captain made it to the Hospital the Doctors culdn't do anything to save him.
Of course, the airpot authorities are clean, just as in the SIA Jumbo case.
