Medivac down.....

[Mike Smith]

prayers or kind thoughts would be appreciated. A life flight helicopter went down this morning in Coffee Co. In south Alabama. Very few details out yet, but early reports are all on board were lost. Weather hasn't been great, but I don't knownif that was a factor. My cousin is a flight nurse with this team, he wasn't on the flight, but has lost friends and colleagues. This always kicks me in the gut.

Sad. Praying for survivors hopefully.

Sad news...all I know are very dedicated responders who love giving people a second chance...may they rest in peace. This is home for all Army Aviators...past and present.

Sad news, especially within the first responder community.

Rest in peace, Chad Hammond, Pilot; Stacey Cernadas, Flight Nurse; Jason Snipes, Flight Medic; and Zach Strickland, patient. I don't know why this one is affecting me so much, but it is.

It probably simply hits closer to home because you realize how easily it could have been your own cousin. It takes away anonymity from this situation, essentially.
