Written by Bay City News
A blood drive will be held at San Francisco International Airport on Monday to replenish blood supplies following the deadly Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash.
The drive, hosted by the airport along with Blood Centers of the Pacific and Stanford Blood Bank, will be at the baggage claim area at Terminal 3 at 9 a.m.
Travelers and others are welcome and encouraged to donate, but walk-ins will only be accepted based on availability. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment by calling (650) 821-5907 or by emailing Cynthia.Durant@flysfo.com.
The drive aims to assist the passengers and crew aboard the flight that crashed while landing at the airport Saturday, killing two 16-year-old Chinese schoolgirls and injuring about 180 people, some critically.
Airport officials said the drive will provide blood after supplies decreased following the incident.
