Three airplanes were involved in an airshow accident at the Ramstein military airbase on 28th of August 1988 causing immediate 45 dead and approximate 400 injured people. As a Level I Trauma facility we received 47 patients in different state of distress direct from airfield within an hour. The disaster plan was activated and sufficient personal and infrastructure could be mobilized.
