Heart transplant team lost in air crash
A small plane carrying a medical team and a heart for a transplant patient crashed today in Sardinia, killing all six people aboard.
The Cessna Citation 500 had taken off from Rome’s Ciampino airport and was bound for the Sardinian city of Cagliari when it lost radar contact with air traffic controllers over a mountain range about 20 miles from Cagliari, said Francesco Di Simone, a spokesman for Italy’s air force.
