dr. jen ashton. dr. ks for joining us. >> good morning. >> so many times there are no survivors in a plane crash so for those that do what is known about the injuries typically sustained? >> when you look at the medical literature for survivors of airplane crashes, what we see is frequency of injuries, so the most common upper extremity fracture is broken arms but then that can go on to head injuries, lacerations, burns, you work your way down the body, lower extremity fractures and internal bleeding. a lot of the magnitude of these injuries depends on how fast you were going. one aviation expert we spoke to estimated that this plane could have been going about 85 miles an hour. what type of plane it is and, of course, possibly where the passenger was seated. >> and it was so important what happened right away. one of the first responders there was a golfer who just happened to be a spinal surgeon, knew to stabilize his neck, so how consequential could that be in ford's recovery? >> it's very important. t
