Seems something is really wrong with those Night VFR HEMS programs.

According to the latest news seems it may have cliped a guy wire from a radio station tower.

Single pilot night flight on HEMS operations is risky bussines.
The pilot workload on HEMS operations is very high and by night multiplies its factor.
A copilot may help to reduce the workload and maybe would help to spot hazards to the flight in time.

I have no magical solutions but something must be done or this is bound to be repeated.
