Air Glaciers, Air Zermatt et al response to coach crash
Sadly watching the news tonight and the tragedy which struck the Belgian ski trip coach so thoughts are with the victims families at this time. Hope the remaining survivors recover speedily.
Noticed Air Glaciers Alouette III, Air Zermatts EC135T1 and AS350B3 amongst others that arrived on scene, to medevac the victims. Also on the BBC news at 10, there was an interview with one of the pilots.
Good work guys.

I flew an injured soldier once, and he died on my aircraft. All hell broke loose afterwards when the mil police queried us. Not to mention the amount of paperwork. But looking at this particular accident...holy smokes!!!! And that at night...
Sobering story on another thread of one who had a 12 YO girl die in flight so he turned around to collect another patient. Don't know how you guys/gals who fly EMS do it.
