Correct -
Yes, I was referring to both incidents...
News to date - one fatality at the USA Jet crash in Saltillo, Mexico. Capt LM was killed, FO is in the hospital.
At the Kalitta incident in Bogata, no fatalities - one FE (initials JK) in surgury for spleen removal, one CA with a significantly injured back, and one seriously injured ride on mechanic with back injuries. The rest of the crew appears to be OK with assorted bumps, bangs and lacerations.
At last news, Connie et al were organizing Lears / whomever to get families down there.

Sorry for the thread drift above. I read an erroneous report and made a comment, another poster joked at me about it and it went from there. No disrespect to either crews or airlines. I appologize if you were offended.

Before you think you have it made, AOPA has the story of the first pilot in the USA to do jail time for an accident here.
It seems that our country was just behind the times.

As I recall the Taiwanese tried to grab the Singapore guys after their accident in TPE years ago, and (correct me if I'm wrong Mark) didn't a Fed Ex crew get detained for landing after ALA tower reported the ceiling had gone below minimums (VV is governing there as much as visibility)?
Being a Kalitta vet myself I add my best wishes to all involved.

Both topics (the crashes) as well as the drift of legal issues, etc deserve their own threads.
