I tried to paste the article here, but was unsuccessful. I found out from DM this morning that I know the dad of the kids killed. Prayers going out to the mother's, kid's, pilot's families. Tragic and so very saddened by this.

This is the first that I heard of this.

When did it happen?

Condolences to all.

Yes, it was the second flight of the day for that helicopter according to reports.

So heartbreaking for the friends and families.

How awful. A family I know was just in Pigeon Forge and they wanted to do the helicopter site seeing but ran out of time.

Prayers to all involved in this.

5 people in a helicopter seems like...a lot. Maybe too heavy?

What a shame.

There was a medical helicopter crash a week or 10 days ago that killed the medical staff, pilot and patient.

Alabama EMA spokesman Greg Robinson said Sunday thevictims who died in the crash were pilot Chad Hammond, flight nurse Stacey Cernadas, flight medic Jason Snipes and patient Zach Strickland. Robinson says the victims were aboard an ambulance helicopter that crashed around 12:17 a.m. Saturday in Goodman, Alabama.

Robinson says the downed helicopter was found after 7 a.m.

Coffee County EMA Deputy Director James Brown tells WSFA-TV that the aircraft crashed after responding to a wreck in which the patient had a broken leg and was unconscious.

National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.

How sad. Prayers for them all. I'm afraid of riding in helicopters.
