BBC News - Man saved by Birmingham Airport aircraft crash liver

The patient who received the organ was listed as "super urgent" because at the time he was one of the sickest people on the transplant list in the UK."Patients who are on this list only have a matter of days to survive, so in this particular instance it was crucially important that the donor liver was used and has functioned successfully,"

"A spokeswoman for the private plane charter firm AD Aviation said: "The pilots are both doing fine.
"One was released from hospital on Saturday, the other is still being treated. His injuries are not life-threatening but his recuperation could take a number of weeks. "One of the pilots got out of the plane themselves while the other had to be rescued. Both are very experienced pilots who we've known for a number of years."
