When I was in the hospital my room was directly under the helo pad. I could hear it coming and going, and smell the jet fuel.

A couple of nurses admitted it scared the hell out of them having it right up there.

The company my daughter is with lost a bird and crew 10 years ago. She was hired as a replacement crew member. Needless to say the outfit does take safety seriously and allows any crew member to throw a safety flag to abort a mission.Yet things break and humans make mistakes.One of the most dangerous occupations in terms of deaths per hours worked in the nation. Prayers up for those lost and their families.
