Sincerest condolences to the families of the crew.
Working on a Police Air Support Unit, we have the luxury of turning around when things go bad. So, the bad guys get away ... who cares? When it's our colleagues on the Air Ambo's .... someone gets sicker ... or worse!
I have nothing but admiration for those guys. They are the heroes of Emergency Service aviation, and the best thing to happen in Emergency Healthcare in recent years.
I for one, know that, if I ever had a serious accident i would want it to be in an area covered by one of these units.
I hope the little lad made it too!
I joined the Emergency Services hoping to make a difference. These two guys families should be proud of them, because THEY made a difference.
Rest in Peace guys.
