Abstract

|
|
It has become our common knowledge nowadays that the airplane crash occurs so
often in late years. as the aviation transportation is in wide use for both domestic and
international travels.
The following operational protocol is suggested based on my personal experience with
investigation of the Air Manila crash we had here on Guam in 1976 killing 46 people
plus the lessons we learned from United Airlines Flight 232, a wide-bodied DC-10 crash
at Sioux City, iowa, in July 1989, killing 112 people.
Whenever we encounter such a disaster, we tend to be apprehensive and we do not
know what to start off first. The most important thing is to calm down and make a
well-thought-out plan by forming a disaster management team.
The main purpose of the operation is first to give medical aids to those survivors,
then identify the deceased, determine the cause of death, investigate into the cause of
crash, protect the valuable personal properties of the passengers, and finally to find
ways to prevent such tragedy in the future. In this regard, we should pay attention to
the pilots and maintenance crew of the aircraft. Following this, we must field any
mechanical defects of aircraft with a high index of suspicion for a possible sabotage, i
.c. deliberate destruction of the airplane with an explosive device.
The following is a step-by-step plan which I strongly recommend in the event of an
airplane disaster.
