SF 350 Lesson No. 18 Aircraft Crash and Emergency Management Topic: Emergency Medical Services Content: Objective(s): Handouts: Audio/Visual: Avianca Flight #052 DAL #191 @ D/FW [1st 1/2 of Part 1 covers (:15) SF 350 Emergency Medical Services Lesson Eighteen, Page 2 INTRODUCTION [The following is based on a report given by Ralph L. Wilson, NTSB, Washington, D.C. as part of ISASI forum Proceedings in 1991] Avianca Airlines, Flight 052 On January 25, 1990, at about 9:34 pm EST, Avianca Airlines flight #052, a Boeing 707-321B (Colombian registration #HK2016), crashed in a heavily wooded residential area in Cove Neck, Long Island, New York. AVA 052 was a scheduled international passenger flight from Bogota, Colombia, to JFK International Airport. Because of poor weather conditions in the northeastern part of the United States, the flight crew was placed in a holding pattern three times by air traffic control for approximately 1 hour and 17 minutes. During the third hold, the flightcrew reported that the airplane could not hold longer than5 minutes, that it was running out of fuel, and that it could not reach its alternate airport, Boston's Logan International Airport. Subsequently, the flightcrew executed a missed approach to JFK after conducting the initial standard instrument approach to land on runway 22L. While receiving radar vectors for a second approach, the flightcrew of AVA 052 informed the JFK tower that "....we're running out of fuel...." SF 350 Emergency Medical Services Lesson Eighteen, Page 3 Shortly thereafter, AVA 052 advised the NY terminal radar approach control (TRACON) that "we just lost two engines and we need priority please." At about 2134, AVA 052 impacted on a hillside in a heavily wooded residential area on the north side of Long Island.  Avianca Flight #052 Of the 158 persons aboard, 73 were fatally injured, including the 3 flight crewmembers and 5 of the 6 flight attendants; 81 were seriously injured, including the surviving flight attendant, and 4 received minor injuries. Of the 149 passengers onboard, there were 122 adults, 16 children and 11 infants whose ages ranged from 4 months to 27 months. There was no fire, and ARFF vehicles from JFK did not respond. A total of about 91 ambulances, heavy rescue and off-road vehicles, and fire trucks of varying sizes and capacities from 37 local fire and rescue companies responded to the site during the rescue operations. The number of police, press, and personal vehicles that responded was undetermined. Access to the impact site created a bottleneck of traffic on a single, narrow blacktopped residential road. Considerable congestion resulted as agencies tried to enter the road to assist and as other agencies tried to exit to transport survivors to local hospitals. SF 350 Emergency Medical Services Lesson Eighteen, Page 4 The Nassau County Police Department dispatched helicopters, which evacuated many of the injured. Overall, the emergency response and rescue was exceptional under the difficult circumstances of darkness and the wreckage location. However, one fact stands out: experienced rescue personnel readily adapt to disaster. >>>VIDEO

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

1. Discuss in detail the five objectives of medical investigations explaining why each is
critical in aircraft accident investigation. (Don’t just identify – explain/justify your
answer)
The objective of the medical investigation is to determine the medical facts of the crew
members as major or minor factors in the crash. Members of the crew get inspected for any
physical irregularities such as cardiovascular, neurological, and respiratory illnesses. The
presence of chemical toxins such as alcohol, drugs, toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, and
lactic acid present in the bodies of crew members may significantly affect the stability of their
nervous system and thereby causing a crash.
Medical investigations aid in the recovery of victims. The team is responsible for the
recovery of survivors and fatalities and their property and conducting investigations from the
physical location of each victim. This is important as it shows medical teams the degree of injury
of each victim.
Identification of the victims is an objective of medical investigations. The investigations get
carried out on civil aspects and criminal aspects. The civil aspects entail insurance of the aircraft,
estate, and compensation of the injured employees (Hepner et...
