      Birmingham Airport closed

      "We can confirm that an incident has occurred at Birmingham Airport involving a private Cessna aircraft. The incident occurred on arrival into the Airport and the emergency services were in attendance.
      There were two people on board, both males. One male is critical and was airlifted to a local hospital. The second male is suffering back pain and flash burns and has been transferred to a local hospital by road.
      The airport is currently closed and is not likely to reopen before at least 20:00 this evening.
      Those due to travel to the airport this evening should contact their airline for further guidance and not come to the airport at this time.
      No further information is available at the moment."

        "A small plane carrying an organ for transplant crashed on landing in thick fog at Birmingham Airport in central England Friday, injuring two people, police and airport authorities said.
        The airport said all arriving and departing flights had been suspended and the runway was closed after the incident, which involved a privately owned Cessna aircraft. The crash happened at about 3:30 p.m.
        Chief Inspector Matt Markham of West Midlands Police said the plane made a "hard landing" and caught fire.
        The airport said both men aboard the aircraft were hurt. One was airlifted to a local hospital in critical condition, and the other was being treated for burns and back pain."
