Exclamation PaveHawk Crash

Just seen pictures on Sky News of a spectacular (scary as fork!) crash in USA. Engaged in high alt winching op (top of mountain) pilot "appears to lose control", and heli hits mountainside, then rolls "hundreds of feet" down. Pictures show crew being thrown out on way down. Astoundingly, all survive, albeit with some injuries.
All the best to the crew, wishing a fast recovery.
