An ill passenger aboard Frontier Airlines Flight 449 was
quarantined late Tuesday night after a female passenger became ill
and had to be removed from the aircraft by hazmat crews.
Blizzard-like conditions and frigid temperatures have forced
search teams trying to reach the wreckage of a downed Boeing
737-200 in the mountains near Kabul, Afghanistan. So far, military
and local teams have been unable to recover the flight recorders
from the Kam Airlines wreckage as the search for a cause to the
accident also continues.
The National Transportation Safety Board has sent a team to
Afghanistan to assist in the investigation of the crash, on
February 3, of a Kam Air Boeing 737-200. The airliner was flying
from Herat to Kabul when it went down with the loss of all 104
passengers and crew, after reportedly being diverted from Kabul
airport due to a snowstorm. Initial reports indicate that there
were 6 American citizens among the passengers.
