Abstract

On April 5, 1993, a China Eastern MD-11 underwent three violent pitch-up maneuvers, injuring over 100 passengers. The pilot made an emergency landing at 3:20 a.m. at Shemya, a tiny Aleutian Island with minimal medical facilities and personnel. The author describes their medical response, problems encountered and lessons learned.
