Come on guys/girls, things getting a tad heated dont ya think.

TC, the pilot in question knew where she was, she was following a GPS track to pick up a patient, and because she was a single pilot in night VFR, with an obviously high workload, she missed a way point, and was faced with rising terrain. The unfortunate pilot and crew did hit terrain, but with a broken hand, and numerous other injuries, she managed to hover for over an hour while the fire crews cut the other skid off, so she could make a flat as possible landing a bed of tyres.

Yes, she was unfortunate, and we all make mistake, we are of course Human, but she did extremely well to make the best of that situation.
