Citat :

Birmingham Airport has been closed until at least 1200 GMT on Saturday after a private jet carrying a liver for transplant crashed on a runway.

Two people were taken to hospital after the plane came down in fog.

The airport said the aircraft had hit its landing system antennae. One eyewitness said the plane was on fire as it came in to land at 1535 GMT.

The organ was safely delivered to the city's Queen Elizabeth Hospital by a police motorbike. [...]

Aeronava a fost G-VUEM, o Cessna 501 Citation, construită în 1981. Un link spre un scurt video cu îndepărtarea avionului de pe pistă: BBC News şi unul spre ASN.
