Kalitta put out a press release indicating all crewmembers survived. I can't find a copy, but's it's out there.

I have been saying that for ages. Scavengers have no place in aviation business. Sooner or later it shows. Maybe now FAA will take a closer look to Connie's business. Terrorizing your employees, using used parts made new through your own aviation parts company, using old planes is not a fair way to do business. I know many of Kalitta's little pupies bailed out jail by Connie and with no other place to go will jump barking at me but "c'est la vie".
Two planes this year is kind of too much

You must be on cloud nine. You revel in other peoples misery. What does that say about you.

This from USA Today:
Kalitta Air Vice President Pete Sanderlin told The Associated Press that the plane, with eight crewmembers aboard, had stopped in Bogota to pick up flowers and was scheduled to land in Miami.
"We think all of the crew on board had various injuries, from slight to more serious injuries," Sanderlin said.
Two crewmembers were treated at a local hospital, while six others were sent to the Central Police Hospital in Bogota. The director there, Col. Nader Lujan, told RCN radio that one, identified as Joseph Kendall, underwent surgery to have his spleen removed and was recuperating.
Sounds serious,but also encouraging...

Police Hospital?! That can't be good.

I hope this thing doesn't turn into a big legal goat rope for these guys.

Thats what I was thinking. These guys need to get out of the country like now.

Just found this a few mins ago... interesting footage link at the end. Ouch. Glad the crewmembers all made it out OK.

Precisely what we would have expected from the illustrious countbat...stupidity, incorrect ignorance, and unsubstantiated, foolish statements made rashly without basis of fact or experience. At least you're consistent.

Terrorized employees? Little "pupies (sic)" bailed out of jail? Older airplanes are not fair? Scavengers?

Could you possibly post and sound more stupid? While it doesn't seem possible, no doubt you're going to reply and prove it so.

Play on.

Crew members on board

I found these names on a Colombian Newspaper's website. I wish everyone on board a safe a fast recovery.

The news paper doesn't mention if anyone on board passed, it just mentions the following results in Spanish.

I hope this helps anyone worried about their friends on board.


Joseph Kendall. Tripulante, le extrajeron el bazo.
Steve Szynkowski. 28 años, de la tripulación, fue sometido a cirugía en la columna.
Richard Dunlap. 65 años, tripulante. Hematomas.
Mohamed Bahman. 30 años, hematomas y lesiones menores.
Bryant Beebe. 51 años, piloto. Traumas en espalda y cadera.
Jimmy Herrera. 45 años, sufrió lesiones menores en la columna.
