Medical Helecopter Crashes

Just learned that Aeromed helecopter crashed into Specrim Health in Grand Rapids, MI. The top couple floors are being evacuated to different hospitals in the area, and the ER has been closed.

Here's the story in ther Grand Rapids Press, and here is a better link to the same paper.

Ohmygawd, that's horrible. I sometimes think about that kind of thing when I'm in certain patients' rooms who overlook our heliopad.

Man...at least nobody got hurt. That must have been absolutely terrifying for everybody involved.

About two weeks ago There was a Helicopter crash from the University of Wisconsin Hospital. That is the bigger hospital we send patients to. All three on board died.
