Thats it in a nutshell.
Who could do what, take baby where, grieving parents, countries legalities etc. the very sadness of a loss of a baby in itself Does not excuse you as a professional with the care of 300 other people ....
Your the commander and your responsibility isnt just one family and their loss its everyone elses as well.
So yeah fly on to your legal limit....goto PEK and your done your best. But to exceed those limits your just throwing away your responsibility....and though heartless it may seem the death cant be undone by you exceeding those limits.
