Virgin Plane Drama Pilot 'Just Doing Job'

Ebola Nurse Could Be Given Blood From Survivor

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 31 Desember 2014 | 12.25

A nurse being treated for Ebola at a London hospital could be given blood donations from survivor Will Pooley to overcome the deadly virus.

Pauline Cafferkey fell ill after returning from Sierra Leone and is the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the UK.

She was initially treated at a Glasgow hospital after reporting symptoms on Monday morning, before being transferred to a specialist unit at the Royal Free Hospital on Tuesday.

Chief medical officer Professor Dame Sally Davies said the experimental drug ZMapp, which was used to treat Mr Pooley, is not available at the moment.

But she added that another option could be available: "We do have available a small amount of convalescent plasma.

"Will Pooley gave a donation of the plasma and the theory is as we fight off infections we make antibodies and if you harvest the plasma you got a source of antibodies that you can put in to someone and you'd expect it to work."

Ms Cafferkey is in a stable condition and the risk to the general public is said to be very low.

She travelled home via Casablanca and London Heathrow, spending around six hours in each airport before catching connecting flights.

Virgin Plane Drama Pilot 'Just Doing Job'

The pilot who successfully landed a Virgin Atlantic jet at Gatwick Airport after a major landing gear fault has said he was just doing his job.

In a statement issued as his relieved passengers from the flight landed safely in Las Vegas, David Williams praised colleagues and said any of the airline's pilots would have done the same thing.

He said: "Clearly this was an out of the ordinary landing, but I was just doing my job and any one of our pilots would have taken the same actions.

"I'm really proud of my colleagues on the ground and in the air and the support they gave me during this event - everyone worked really hard in a difficult situation and we are delighted that our customers were able to travel to Las Vegas the next day for their New Year's Eve celebrations."

Virgin Atlantic said Mr Williams had been keen to stay out of the media spotlight over the last 24 hours, and the pilot added he was "keen to spend some private time with my family over the new year".

A specially scheduled flight meant most of the 447 passengers continued their journey on Tuesday after Monday's flight suffered a major landing-gear fault which forced it to return to Gatwick.

Virgin Atlantic confirmed the flight took off at 11:15am (GMT) on Tuesday, and landed safely at McCarran International Airport Las Vegas at 20:59 GMT.

A spokeswoman for the airline said: "The majority of people did choose to fly - about 95% did.

"Some didn't for various reasons, but I think the majority did choose to fly.

"About 13 of the passengers went on holiday as crew companions and obviously that original crew weren't travelling any more."

The spokeswoman said it was standard procedure for a new crew to operate a flight if there is an incident or delay on board.

Passengers applauded with relief after their stricken Virgin Atlantic jumbo jet landed safely at the West Sussex airport on Monday, and praised the aircraft's pilot.

Travellers, who had been told adopt the brace position, spoke of a "textbook landing" and praised the calmness of the crew who landed the plane safely despite one of its five sets of landing gear not deploying.

Sir Richard Branson added his thanks, writing on Twitter: "Well done Virgin Atlantic pilots & team for safe & skillful landing of VS43.

"Thoughts with passengers & crew, thanks for support & patience."

Virgin Plane's 'Non-Standard' Landing On Video

Pilots have pulled off an emergency landing in a Virgin jet that developed a landing gear problem and was forced to circle over the UK for four hours.

Video showed smoke spraying up as the wheels touched down in what passengers - who were in the brace position - have called a "textbook" landing.

The jet appeared to be expertly piloted and there was only a slight bounce as the jumbo hit the runway to the applause of more than 450 people on board.

One of the four sets of main wheels had failed to fully come down in what Virgin called a "technical issue with one of the landing gears".

A Gatwick spokesman said some passengers had suffered minor injuries. The runway has now reopened but delays are expected.

The Boeing 747 appeared to be in a holding pattern over the East Sussex coast and was in the air for four hours as pilots prepared for the landing.

Passenger Mike Kaufman said the touchdown had been "textbook" and that people were calm, but that passengers had to brace in case of a heavy impact.

Another passenger, Holly Jackson, said they could see the plane spraying out fuel in preparation for the landing.

She also said the pilot was "bouncing" the plane" to try to dislodge the partially-deployed landing gear.

Experts said dumping fuel was a strategy to make the plane lighter and reduce the risk of the remaining landing gear collapsing on impact.

Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Group founder, tweeted: "Well done @VirginAtlantic pilots & team for safe & skillful landing of #VS43. Thoughts with passengers & crew, thanks for support & patience"

The plane is also reported to have flown low at low altitude near Southampton airport.

Mr Kaufman said the pilot had told passengers it was so the landing gear could be inspected by people on the ground with binoculars.

Flight VS43 had taken off at 11.44am from Gatwick and was heading to Las Vegas in the US.

Twitter users reported seeing emergency vehicles rushing to the West Sussex airport.

A tweet by the airport described it as "standard procedure" and "purely as a precaution."

Flight tracking websites showed the aircraft made it to the Bristol Channel area before it turned back.

Fire trucks were on stand by as the aircraft came in and Virgin checked the plane before letting passengers get off using the stairs.

A statement by Virgin Atlantic boss Craig Kreeger, said: "We will make sure they are well looked after this evening, and will be operating a special flight tomorrow for everyone who would like to continue their journey."

Police have launched a murder investigation after the body of a 51-year-old man was found in Bath city centre on Christmas Eve.

A member of the public discovered Thomas Downey under a railway arch on Lower Bristol Road, near Bath railway station just after 1.30pm on Wednesday.

The area was cordoned off and a detailed search of the area continues.

A post mortem examination has been carried out and confirmed that Mr Downey died from significant head injuries.

His family have travelled down from Manchester and are helping investigating officers with the inquiry.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "They are being supported by a police family liaison officer and our thoughts are with them at this sad time."

Mr Downey is known locally as "Manchester Tommy".

Officers have urged anyone with information to share it with police to help them piece together what happened on Christmas Eve.

Two men in their thirties have been arrested on suspicion of murder and continue to be questioned.

The spokesman added: "The neighbourhood policing team are working with the local community to provide support and reassurance and to assist with the investigation.

"However, we are still keen to speak to anyone who was in the area near to the station in Lower Bristol Road around lunchtime on Christmas Eve.

"We believe the area would have been busy with shoppers and people leaving work early."

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Major Crime Investigation Team on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

King's Cross Station Hit By More Problems

London's King's Cross station was hit by more problems today as an investigation was launched into disruption caused by overrunning engineering work.

A number of trains out of King's Cross were cancelled and other services delayed after a signalling failure this afternoon.

The failure meant that some Great Northern services from the station were cancelled, while incoming trains ended their journeys at Finsbury Park.

A Great Northern spokeswoman said: "At approximately 13.30 this afternoon signalling problems were experienced in the Finsbury Park area, resulting in no trains being able to run in and out of London King's Cross.

"Several trains terminated at Finsbury Park and Welwyn Garden City. Rail replacement buses were organised for passengers to transport them across to the Thameslink route, where ticket acceptance was in place.

"Signalling was restored at 14.15. Customers may have been affected by residual delays of up to 60 minutes whilst the service recovered.

"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience that Great Northern's customers may have experienced."

Today's problems follow major disruption yesterday when King's Cross and Paddington stations were closed because engineering works ran over schedule.

Both stations have since reopened and services from Paddington were running as planned, a Network Rail spokeswoman said.

Network Rail's Robin Gisby, managing director of network operations, apologised for yesterday's disruption which led to extra police being brought in to control crowds.

"I'm deeply sorry for the delays, upset and upheaval caused... to passengers impacted by our overrunning improvement work outside King's Cross," he said.

"We've had an army of 11,000 engineers out over Christmas Day and Boxing Day at 2,000 locations nationwide.

Severe Weather Warnings As Cold Snap Strikes

Severe Weather Warnings As Cold Snap Strikes

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

Severe weather alerts have been issued across Britain with the Met Office warning of dangerous conditions caused by snowfall, heavy rain and extreme cold.

The Met Office says there is a 90% chance of severe cold, ice and snow in some areas of England between today and the New Year.

Yellow weather alerts are in place in the East Midlands, the West Midlands, London and the South East of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland's South West, Wales and across several other regions.

The cold weather alert issued by the Met Office warns conditions could "increase the health risks to vulnerable patients and disrupt the delivery of services".

The wild weather has already caused travel disruption on the roads and at UK airports.

Motorists were forced to abandon their vehicles after becoming stuck in snow in Sheffield.

Traffic was backed up on the Prince of Wales Road in the early hours of the morning with some motorists reporting four-hour tailbacks.

Liverpool's John Lennon Airport and Leeds Bradford International Airport in Yorkshire were forced to close their runways while snow was cleared.

Four flights into Liverpool from Malta, Berlin and Bucharest had to be diverted to Manchester Airport on Boxing Day.

A fifth flight from the Isle of Man returned to the island's airport as the Merseyside hub was closed for more than an hour while its runway was cleared.

A spokesman for John Lennon Airport said the airport has re-opened, but warned there may be further disruption.

"We have had quite a deluge here," he said.

A notice on the Leeds Bradford International Airport website said: "As a result of adverse weather conditions, Leeds Bradford International Airport is presently closed.

"We recommend you contact your airline or tour operator and check the status of your flight before arriving at the airport."

East Midlands Airport is also advising passengers to contact their airlines after disruptions to services.

Christmas night was the coldest of the year so far, with -8.5C recorded at Braemar in Aberdeenshire.

Temperatures could also drop as low as -10C in some places at the start of next week.

Leek, near the Peak District in Staffordshire, has seen the worst of the snowfall with four inches falling, according to the Met Office.

Cranwell in Lincolnshire also saw almost three inches of snow.

Police warned of hazardous conditions last night, especially in Staffordshire and Cheshire, with several roads made impassable.

Staffordshire Police tweeted: "Reports of difficult road conditions across Staffordshire due to snow, Please only travel tonight if necessary."

Cheshire Police added: "Roads around Delamere/Frodsham looking quite treacherous due to weather, Please drive with care."

A Department for Transport spokesman said: "As winter weather grips some areas of the country we would advise people intending to travel to check weather and local conditions before they set out.

"The Highways Agency and local highway authorities across the country are working hard to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum."

Bargain hunters are expected to hit the High Street in their millions today to take advantage of the Boxing Day sales.

Retailers claim big discounts will be available for consumers prepared to brave the winter cold and join early morning queues to be first in line for the best deals when doors open at dawn.

Shoppers searching for discounts online are expected to spend £748m today, or £519,000 every minute, according to data firm Experian and online retailing trade association IMRG.

An estimated 142 million visits were made to retail websites on Christmas Day and an online survey found that more than a third of Britons buy Christmas presents in the post-Christmas sales.

Experian's Giles Longhurst, said: "This year has seen record breaking online shopping rates, particularly on Black Friday, which saw an astronomical £810m in estimated spend due to the massive resources put behind promotions by a wide range of retailers.

"Traditionally, the Boxing Day sales have been the busiest day for retailers in the UK, but this year we expect them to come second to Black Friday."

Myf Ryan, director of the Westfield shopping centres, said Boxing Day remained a "huge attraction" for shoppers.

"Last year we had queues out of the door on Boxing Day by 5am," he said.

"This year we expect an exceptionally busy day yet again, fuelled by excellent retail offers and special deals with over 50% off by many of our 600 retailers."

But retail staff will also spend much of their time sorting out disputes with consumers returning Christmas presents.

The new retail ombudsman, Dean Dunham, who takes up his new role on 2 January, said he expected thousands of complaints from shoppers who have been refused refunds.

He said: "If the goods are not faulty, the law places no obligations on the retailer so you have to examine their terms and conditions.

"If their terms say the retailer will not accept returns where packaging is damaged or missing, and most terms do, the retailer will be perfectly within their rights to enforce this."

Britain Braced For Post-Christmas Cold Snap

Forecasters have issued a cold weather alert for parts of Britain as millions are expected to hit the roads to visit relatives or take advantage of the Boxing Day sales.

Snow is likely in some northern and central areas and regions that do experience snow could see in excess of 10cm on higher ground.

Rain and sleet are also expected to fall across parts of Northern Ireland, England and Wales before conditions settle through the weekend.

But temperatures are expected to dip below freezing across much of Britain next week.

The Met Office cold weather alert for parts of England warns there is an 80% probability of conditions that could "increase the health risks to vulnerable patients and disrupt the delivery of services".

A Met Office spokesperson said: "The public should be aware of the potential for disruption from snow. Please watch for updates to this warning, especially if travelling."

Met Office meteorologist Krista Mitchell said: "This year as a whole has been very mild, so this could be the coldest spell that we've had.

"As we go towards Monday and Tuesday, we will see overnight temperatures really drop, with widespread frost and most places dropping below freezing."

A spokesman for Transport Scotland said it was monitoring the conditions.

"As ever, the public have a vital role to play in terms of helping to minimise disruption," he said.

"We would advise people to prepare for some travel disruption as bridges could be affected by high winds and driving conditions could be challenging in some areas, so please allow extra time for your journeys.

"They should also check the relevant websites, such as Traffic Scotland, for up-to-date travel information before they set off."

Christmas Lights Tribute To Glasgow Victims

Christmas Lights Tribute To Glasgow Victims

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

Thousands of people have turned off their Christmas lights as an act of remembrance for the victims of the Glasgow bin lorry crash.

Some 72,000 people signed up to a Facebook event page asking people to turn off their decorations for two minutes at 9pm on Christmas Eve.

The event was created for people to reflect on the tragedy, which saw six people killed and 10 others injured on Monday.

The tribute came after the Archbishop of Glasgow Philip Tartaglia led a memorial mass at St Andrew's Cathedral to remember the victims.

He told mourners he had spent time with those who lost loved ones in the crash, including a mother who saw her daughter and parents killed.

Jacqueline McQuade was on a Christmas shopping trip when her 18-year-old daughter Erin McQuade and parents Jack and Lorraine Sweeney, all from Dumbarton, were fatally injured.

Primary school teacher Stephenie Tait, 29, and Jacqueline Morton, 51, both from Glasgow, and Gillian Ewing, 52, from Edinburgh, were also killed.

Another 10 people, including the driver, were injured.

Archbishop Tartaglia said: "On the evening of the tragedy, I was privileged to be permitted to spend some time with one of the families who had been cruelly devastated by the incident.

"I was able to witness and share the grief and sadness of a mother and of a father for their daughter, and of two daughters for their mother and father.

"The distressed woman to whom I was speaking had seen her daughter and her own parents killed almost right in front of her. Can you imagine the horror?

"I tried to console them and comfort them. We spoke and we cried and we were silent before the abyss of their loss and the random meaninglessness of what had happened.

"They openly spoke of their faith, but their faith was sorely tried, and I commended them silently to God that the Lord would find the way to bring them comfort."

It is not yet clear what caused the driver, who has not been named, to lose control of the vehicle.

Witnesses reported seeing him slumped at the wheel as the lorry collided with pedestrians on Queen Street, before crashing into the side of the Millennium Hotel at George Square.

The driver and five other people remain in hospital, with one patient said to be in a critical condition.

Northern Ireland's political parties have reached agreement on a range of issues that had threatened the devolved government's future.

The "Stormont House Agreement", which has been forged after weeks of talks, has resolved wrangles over the budget and welfare reforms and established new structures to deal with the legacy of unsolved killings during the Troubles.

An Independent Commission on Information Retrieval will help the bereaved and injured obtain information about events during the conflict.

The First and Deputy First Ministers will also bring forward proposals to deal with parades after the General Election, while a commission will be set up to address the issue of flags.

The agreement paves the way for corporation tax powers to be devolved to Belfast as well, after Chancellor George Osborne said he would do so, provided there was progress at the talks.

Prime Minister David Cameron has also agreed to lend the devolved government £2bn to address a shortfall, after Stormont agreed to cushion welfare reform from its own budget.

Mr Cameron said: "I am delighted that a workable agreement has been reached that can allow Northern Ireland to enjoy a brighter, more prosperous future, while at the same time finally being able to deal with its past.

"This historic agreement has been long in the making and I would also like to pay tribute to all those involved - the Northern Ireland parties, the UK and Irish governments and Senator Hart - for getting us to this position.

"We will now all work collaboratively to see this through. The people of Northern Ireland deserve nothing less."

First Minister and DUP leader Peter Robinson said the deal acknowledged that further work was needed.

"Of course every one of us would have liked to have had a more comprehensive and complete agreement but this is as much and more than we have ever been able to do on these issues in the past," he said.

"So it is a very significant agreement."

Sinn Fein Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said the "remarkable agreement" had the potential to give the Executive a "fresh start".

"And it is a fresh start we need to seize with both hands," he said, flanked by party leader Gerry Adams.

Irish foreign affairs minister Charlie Flanagan, who was involved in negotiations, said: "Today we are building on the hard-won peace on this island with a new agreement which aims to further reconciliation and foster economic growth."

Tycoon's Fall On To Railings 'Not Suspicious'

A bankrupt property tycoon whose body was found impaled on railings did not die in suspicious circumstances, a coroner has said.

Scot Young was discovered in what was described as a "grisly" and "brutal" scene following his death in Marylebone, central London, on December 8.

The 52-year-old had been jailed during a public divorce row over a multimillion-pound settlement because he would not reveal financial records.

After his fatal fall, friends of Mr Young came forward with concerns about a potential "ring of death" in his inner circle - saying four of his reported close friends had died in a similar way.

They pointed out Johnny Elichaoff, Boris Berezovsky, Robert Curtis and Paul Castle all appear to have killed themselves after suffering financial setbacks over the past four years.

But opening the inquest into Mr Young's death, Westminster assistant coroner Angela Hodes said there were no suspicious circumstances.

She said his body was identified by brother-in-law Guy van Ristell, with details supplied to the police by his daughter Sasha.

No members of Mr Young's family or friends were present at the hearing, which was adjourned until January 12.

Speaking after his death, his 30-year-old American model girlfriend, Noelle Reno one of the stars of the Ladies Of London reality TV show, said she was "distraught by the sudden loss of my best friend" and wanted to "grieve in peace".

Mr Young had been locked in a long-running legal battle with his ex-wife Michelle, 50, with whom he had two daughters.

Bin Lorry Crashes Into Shoppers: Six Dead

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

A council refuse lorry has crashed into a crowd of Christmas shoppers in Glasgow city centre, killing six people and injuring eight.

The crowd were waiting to cross the road outside Queen Street station by the Millennium Hotel on George Square and some people are thought to have been thrown up to 15 metres from the site of impact.

Pictures published on social media showed people being treated along the length of the street - one police officer said the lorry had careered up to 300 metres along the road before slamming into the hotel.

Witnesses described seeing the driver of the lorry, who is among those being treated in hospital slumped over the wheel.

Reporting from the scene, Sky's Scotland correspondent James Matthews said: "It is an absolutely horrendous spectacle and one of extreme carnage in Glasgow today."

He asked witness Melanie Greig to tell him about the people on the pavement who had been hit, to which she responded: "I can't; honestly I just can't do that."

She continued: "When something is coming up behind them like that, how can they run out of the way? It's such a horrific thing. There was noise and bangs and screams.

"There was a baby in a buggy. There were actually two little kids. It was just horrific."

Witness Anjan Luthra, who works opposite the crash site, told Sky News: "There were two people getting mouth to mouth. There were some bodies that were just untouchable and people were covering them because they were in such a state."

Another witness told Sky News: "People were just in shock, just standing about screaming. A mother with her baby in the pram fainted. Apparently the lorry had just missed her and her child."

Police have declared the scene a major incident and confirmed there have been six fatalities, but they say they do not believe the incident is terrorism related.

A statement released by Police Scotland said: "About 2.30pm today, a Glasgow City Council bin lorry was travelling north on Queen Street when it appeared to strike pedestrians outside the Gallery of Modern Art.

"It continued to travel towards George Square, where it crashed at the Millennium Hotel on Queen Street."

All casualties, including the driver of the lorry, who is said to have been lucid following the crash, have been taken to the Southern General Hospital, Glasgow Royal Infirmary and the Western Infirmary.

Lauren Gilmore, a shopper in George Square, said: "Just over a year ago, we had another tragedy in Glasgow – it was the helicopter crash. And now this has happened again just before Christmas."

Witness Janey Godley tweeted: "Utter horrific carnage people on ground getting triage street poles smashed into pavement emergency services all over it."

In a statement, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said : "My thoughts are with everyone involved in this tragic incident, and especially with the friends and families of the six people who lost their lives in what is another sad day for Glasgow and Scotland.

She has requested that flags at Scottish government buildings be flown at half-mast.

Glasgow City Council has also ordered that the Christmas lights at George Square be switched off as a mark of respect.

:: For those people who are concerned, Police Scotland have set up an emergency hotline on: 01786 289 070.
