How was the view?

Or, did you concentrate solely on the medical stuff?

Be sure to disassociate yourself from the crew should anyone start to do a surgical cric as I wouldn't want your name to be in the lawsuit.

The coroner's report states

I would like to see a real autopsy report done by a qualified medical examiner and not a "coroner".

There is a lot more to this tragic event to which the initial story released by the newspaper was so full of inaccuracies it makes one wonder who actually gave out the info and for what cause. The credibility of the story is blown for not checking any accuracy of the "facts" reported. The headline alone is enough to put doubt on the source and the journalistic ability of the reporter.

I agree with you Vent. There were earlier accounts and it seems they all had a different tweak here and there.

My posting was sarcasm, more tongue in cheek than anything.

And now a word form the other side of the coin:

CALSTAR President Joseph F. Cook said that an incision in Jones' neck made by a piece of glass from the shattered windshield inhibited the success of the cricothyrotomy and was a factor in Jones' death. Cook said he believes the coroner misinterpreted the autopsy findings in attributing the cause of death to the cricothyrotomy incision.

The autopsy report, which documents in detail the examination of the body, does indicate an additional wound, about 2-3 centimeters in length, that "completely perforates the right lateral and posterior wall of the upper trachea at about the first and second tracheal ring level."
