another med flight has gone down in Oklahoma killing the pilot and injuring the flight medic & nurse.

Eaglemed helicopter goes down.

Seems not a month goes by or more frequently that a air ambulance goes down. Very very disturbing.

RIP to the pilot and quick healing to the injured.

an update:

The helicopter pilot who died in a Thursday night crash near Eufaula is identified as Matt Mathews.

The EagleMed helicopter Mathews was flying went down in a wooded area seven miles west of Stidham, near the Canadian River, at 11:24 p.m. Three crew members were on board — Mathews perished while two crew members, Nurse Kim Ramsey and Paramedic Ryan Setzkorn, survived.
