A fun little tidbit for you all.
As far as FAA is concerned, this death will not count as related to that fume situation. For something to be an "accident", it must meet a few criteria, one of them is causing a death or serious injury. A fatal injury related to an accident is defined in 8020.11C as
> Fatal Injury - any injury which results
> in death within 30-days of the accident.
It will not even count as a "serious injury"
> Serious Injury - any injury which: (1)
> requires hospitalization for more than 48
> hours, commencing within 7-days from the
> date an injury was received; (2) results
> in a fracture of any bone (except simple
> fractures of fingers, toes, or nose); (3)
> causes severe hemorrhages, or nerve,
> muscle, or tendon damage; (4) involves
> any internal organ; or (5) involves
> second- or third-degree burns, or any
> burns affecting more than 5-percent of
> the body surface.

- jakobegger 9y agoWouldn't "(4) involves any internal organ" apply? As I understood it the pilots internal organs (lung, brain, etc) were severely injured by the toxic fumes.
