This was very much in the local news recently. A Cessna carrying a live liver crashed and exploded into a fireball in dense fog at Birmingham International Airport. The pilots survived the crash although were injured. It would have been a lot worse if it wasn't for the quick thinking and extreme bravery of an air ambulance pilot who dived into the wreckage and switched off the fuel supply. BHX is one of the busiest airports in the UK outside of London - all flights were diverted for 24 hours.
Luckily the organ survived the crash and was rushed to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital under police escort. I'm very pleased to hear that the transplant was a success and is said to be recovering well.
Talking of which. Birmingham is my home city, technically I'm a "Brummie" although I live in a little town called Bewdley now - popular at the weekends with both Brummies and "Black Country" people - called the Black Country because it used to be covered in soot from all the manufacturing.
My wife Val had a kidney transplant at the QE Hospital and used to dialyse there too. The staff were always wonderful but the hospital was showing its age a bit. The dialysis units have been in "temporary" port cabins for 20 years I think. The dialysis and renal units have now finally moved into the new hospital this month. http://www.birminghampost.net/news/west-midlands-news/2010/11/15/second-phase-of-move-into-birmingham-s-new-super-hospital-begins-65233-27664228/
