Another HEMS tragedy

[fireflymedic]

Sadly yet another med helicopter accident - early this morning in aurora IL, just outside Chicago, a med helicopter crashes killing all four aboard - pilot, paramedic, nurse and 13 month old patient on interfacility transfer. Operated by Angel Air this was the third crash for the program with the other two being in 2003 (pilot fatality) and 2007 (no injuries). God speed to crew - prayers to families and coworkers. Sadly this is happening all too often.

I saw this when I arrived at work this morning.

I am deeply saddened by yet more loss of life.

I will keep the crew and surviving family members in my thoughts.

This also came on this morning in Canada. I have read about the others online but never saw it on local world news before. My heart goes out to the family of those involved.
