A more technical explanation of the (reportly minor) maintenance issue performed prior to take off will be offered by the company to the families of the victims today at 6:00pm (5:00pm GMT).
One of the passengers have been "downgraded" (got worse) to the very serious condition cathegory, meaning 4 people are still potentially in danger (up to 9 are, but it would be unlikely that any of the other 5 would get worse).
Although 1 is better, 1 is worse, 1 is the same and 1 is the critical condition patient. Doctors are still hopefull they will not lose any of them and victims will remain at 153 count. Of course, with 9 seriously injured, this is still unpredictable.
Expedited DNA identification of about 100 of those victims are thought to start producing results as early as tomorrow. Spanair started to pay the €3.8m it has agreed as a advanced payments for indemnizations, which insurance company is suppossed to take over after preliminary investigations and are believed to amount to about €50m.
