Victims of Plane Crash Worked for Air Travel Sites
The two men who died in a fiery crash on the runway at Santa Monica Airport Wednesday evening when their single-engine plane likely lost power were successful Internet entrepreneurs who loved flying and worked for companies specializing in air travel. The pilot, Paulo Emanuele, who is thought to be 46, was the general manager of the airliners.net web site and an “amazing pilot,” according to a statement on the aviation news site he worked for. Martin Schaedel, who never revealed his age but is thought to have been about 23, was a consultant to FareCompare, a web site that compares airline fares, and a frequent flier who routinely logged more than 100,000 miles a year, according to press reports.

Q. What are radiologists and what are some of the latest advances in the field of radiology?
Radiologists are medical doctors who specialize in using medical imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and trauma. Today’s imaging equipment is of a higher resolution than ever before, enabling radiologists to detect conditions with more confidence and accuracy than previously possible.
