Re: ER 11/20 HELICOPTER CRASH

["Steve Smith" <wyomed@cybertrails.com>]

I don't think it necessarily reflects negatively on our industry,
helicopters do unfortunately crash on occasion.  I watched the episode with
my family, and answered lots of questions after.  I suppose even though they
understand there are risks involved, having them shown graphically on TV is
a totally different thing.  I know it made my stomach tie in knots.

I do think that the portrayal of the Flight Nurse who was left behind,
ignoring his own injuries to treat someone else was a positive thing with a
positive message.

I would be interested in some Pilot input as to the causes, procedures and
progression of the crash sequence.  I wonder what we can learn from a
simulated accident.?
