I was overhead minutes after it happened!

Hey mate, my good friend might have been flying, I still can't reach her, she was on all day today in that machine. I can't get any info either, I was on a tour and overhead the Atlantis minutes after the incident and saw the machine sitting upright at the end of the helipad facing south. I was at 2000 so couldn't make out much detail, looked like no rotors or tail rotor. Inbound medivac was landing to pick up injured as I turned. Another company chopper came across from the Burj Al Arab to see if it could help but he was waved off and low on fuel but he said the crew where injured amongst others... He could say who the PIC was!

I am praying for her and the others if this is true, she's a good mate!
