So sad. Per someone I know who knows a little more than is being reported is that 5 crew members have been hospitalized. The pilot, RN and Paramedic from the crash, all with serious burns and then the RN and Paramedic from the second helicopter that responded for smoke inhalation suffered while they pulled their coworkers from the wreckage. The second helicopter was actually first on scene.
Thoughts and prayers for the crew members, the patient and their families.
The worst part is they were almost to their destination.

Bad situation, not that it is any consolation to the families but there should be commendation given for those who lost their lives providing emergency response for the injured patients...similar to the way the military are given awards

Agreed.
As it stands now all the crew members are alive. The only fatality was the patient who was being transported after being shot in the chest with a shotgun. I don't want to take away from the family of the patient but I hope that he remains the only fatality.
