british airliners

Former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko died within the past week of poisoning...his death is now being linked to two jet airliners. around 33,000 passengers , 3,000 employees and 220 trips from london to moscow have been linked to those to two jets. The airline said "the risk to public health is low" but that it was attempting to contact all passengers. they have also urged all involved to notify a heath facility as soon as possible. british airways has posted a statement, updated their website as well as posted all flights that were on the two planes.

before taking this course i never would have thought about how a company would be dealing with a situation like this. now, i look at each aspect. Considering the speed in which a spokeperson reaches out, how quickly a news release is held, is a website updated, is there a hotline number, ect ect. Also i think about what would i do in this situation. its terribly exciting. im so thrilled that i have chosen this profession.
