RIP for another one

[Just Plain Ruff]

Another helicopter crash, this one in Kentucky. Air Evac Team in Kentucky went down last night. All perished. I don't have the story, it just came out this AM that they crashed.

More to follow.

This from the Air Evac Lifeteam facebook page -

We are saddened to confirm that three members of our Manchester, Ky., crew were killed in a helicopter accident late Thursday evening. We are devastated at the loss of these crew members who we consider family. We have no details regarding the cause of the accident but will be working with the NTSB in coming days as they conduct their investigation. We thank you all for your messages of support. Please keep these crew members famiily/friends and the AEL Family in your thoughts and prayers.

I read somewhere that if we keep going at this rate we will break 2008's terrible record.
