Harbor View is reputed to have the best trauma centers in the world. I
had a friend that was air lifted there after a bicycle accident left him
comatose. I hear they also have a wonderful burn unit, too.

Harbour View hospital is where they take the seriously injured riders after

Wa. I have been working corners at Pacific (formerly Seattle international
raceway) for many years and even raced my Suzuki GSXR 1100 for a couple of
those years there. (making the 4am drive from canada to be there ontime for
racing to start)
Sounds like Harbour View is a pretty good hospital. I assume that HV has a
trauma unit as well, either that or HV is just close to the track and that
is why the riders are taken there.

I just saw on the King 5 news that a single engine Beechcraft Bonanza
crashed shortly after takeoff from the diamond head?? airport. (Not sure

if

my info is correct at this time).
The Beechcraft caught fire after crashing into a cargo trailer in a

grassy

field near the end of the airport.

The good news is that the four people on-board although badly burned did
manage to escape and are now being treated in hospital.

The crash was at Evergreen Sky Park near Black Diamond. The pilot and one

of

the passengers was seriously burned; the pilot while dragging his

passengers

out of the plane. They were airlifted to Harborview, known for its burn

and

trauma center. If you get burned, you could do a lot worse than

Harborview,

so the victims are in the best possible hands. The other two passengers

were

not seriously injured, but were taken to Harborview anyway.
