The Midlands Today "Inside Out" piece was centered around an interview with the airport fireman who went into the aircraft and dragged the more seriously injured crew member out.
No mention of the alleged situation where the air ambulance pilot was reported as entering the aircraft to turn off the fuel and electrics. ( would he do that, and risk prejudicing the air ambulance flight if he got into difficulties entering the crashed aircraft?)

Slightly amusing interview with the witness from the golf course who said the jet was travelling at " several hundred miles an hour" as it came down, but apart from that and the now usual short duration shots and swivelly blurry camera-work that production people fail to realise makes for quite unpleasant viewing, we learned little about the accident, and there was no new footage.
The liver transplant was thankfully successful.

No news about the pilot, lets hope he continues to recover from his injuries.
