I am presently researching any incidents involving hazardous materials and helicopters that resulted in an incident, accident, injury and or fatality. I am putting together a lecture on the subject for a SEMA seminar in October and am looking for some actual incidents to help drive home the material. I am not limiting the search to incidents just involving air crews but am also looking at ground crews who may have been injured due to the involvement of a helicopter on a HAZMAT situation. The incident does not necessarily have to involve air medical helicopters, any helicopter will do. Actual news articles or incident reports would be great if anyone has them, but any good eye witness accounts will be gladly welcomed also. I'm not too worried about military vs civilian either, any account is welcome and it does not have to be recent. Any situation involving gas clouds poisonous, flammable or non toxic; any industrial waste accidents; any farm or agricultural accidents; railroad or highway accidents; pipeline; crews becoming overcome in the cabin from contaminated patients; fires on board aircraft due to hazardous materials; the list is endless. I appreciate any help that this group can send my way and thank all of you for your time up front.
