Eddy described “a direct hit to multiple homes” and “a gigantic debris field” in the densely populated area. Thick fog made conditions especially perilous. “It was very foggy. You could barely see in front of you,” he said, per the Evening Standard.
In such conditions, aeromedical risk evaluations, fog-related aviation incident claims, and emergency trauma diagnostics come under review during post-crash investigations.
Among the deceased was Dave Shapiro, co-founder of Sound Talent Group, which has represented major acts like Sum 41, Story of the Year, and Hanson.
The agency confirmed it lost three employees in the crash, including Shapiro, though the others have not yet been publicly named. This raises serious questions around corporate travel insurance coverage, accidental death benefit claims, and group policy payout frameworks.
“We are devastated by the loss of our co-founder, colleagues, and friends,” a Sound Talent Group spokesperson told the BBC. “Our hearts go out to their families and to everyone impacted by today’s tragedy. Thank you so much for respecting their privacy at this time.”
