Landing Accident in Memphis
Dr. David W. Cahill, 51, chairman of the University of South
Florida's Department of Neurological Surgery, and John Murphy, of
Pensacola (FL) were killed Wednesday when the Baron Cahill was
flying landed between two runways, skidded a short distance, and
flipped over.
Two other passengers,
identified by airport officials as Ed Brown and Chip Lomell, both
of Tampa (FL), were taken to a local hospital in critical
condition.
We were told that Dr. Cahill, an internationally-known spinal
surgeon, was flying his friend's machine to help get the three PAX,
all of whom were identified as employees of Minneapolis-based
Medtronic Sofamor Danek, to a business meeting.
