I was Brants CRM Instructor in Bahrain, and absolutely devastated he is one of the dead. A lovely young man and how dreadful it is when you know someone involved in these horrific accidents. It's bad enough in instruction anyway analysing them without that personal tie.
My heartfelt sympathies with Paul and Brant's families, and DHL as this must be a real body blow to a very close knit and well run organisation. DHL in Bahrain is one of the most forward thinking Companies in CRM education I have encountered.
Last and not least sympathies to the poor crew and passengers of the Tupolev. Let us not judge at this point until we know all the facts. No-one intentionally gets things wrong.
Tragic loss of life and adds to what is turning out to be one of the worst years in fatalities worldwide. And we are only half way through
