    7 dead in medical 'copters crash

    And another one, folks: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080630/...YCNk3.Yg.s0NUE
    PHOENIX - Two medical helicopters collided in midair Sunday afternoon near an Arizona hospital, killing at least seven people and critically injuring three, a federal official said.
    All three people on one of the helicopters were killed in the Flagstaff collision, including a patient and the pilot, said Ian Gregor, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
    Four others were killed and three critically wounded, Gregor said. He wasn't sure if they were all on the second helicopter or whether some were on the ground.
    The cause of the collision is being investigated.

    It's not even a month since 3 crew dead after medical helicopter crash

    Those were our brothers and sisters on those choppers. Nurses, emt's, paramedics, RRT's--we are all a family, and it hurts so bad to hear of such tragedy. I first read about it on a paramedic forum I frequent. God rest their souls.

    I agree that we are all 'blood relatives'. Heck...had one crew who'd pick up our residents who'd keep us ( and patient) in stitches, even under pressure while getting patient stable and out the door. My heart goes out to the families. :rose:
