Looks like we have had another air ambulance go down.

Thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the crew.

My condolences to all of their families.

I did my research on HEMS and whether CAMTS and VFRs are beneficial in the prevention of crashes. The real problem I see are actually with "helicopter shopping" and greedy companies willing to make a buck. I continue to see these tragedies occur which make me upset and saddened.
