Very sad indeed. I was at BHX today and witnessed the crash after the initial explosive noise. It APPEARED that the airport fire tenders were slow in responding and in fact an Ops Land Rover reached the crash site first and when the airport fire tenders arrived they SEEMED to wait before making an attempt to put out the fire. I suppose the impact would have been fatal (aircraft was claimed to have cartwheeled (local paper) and final resting position of the main fusalage was inverted. Perhaps further speculation would be inappropriate. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
*** A post by Jet set Sparky has put my mind to rest about my tentative observations in respect of the crash crew response for which I thank him *** Also I note that Jet set Sparky recognised the intent and purpose of my use of upper case in the original post which I have not edited***
