FUSE Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Good morning folks, Woke up this morning and see in the paper that a medical helicopter taking a patient to Washington Hospital Center crashed yesterday. I heard reports that the patient they were taking to the hospital did not survive the night. The 3 crew members are in serious but stable condition. I don't know yet how to search the FAA web site and post a report of the accident like I have seen done here in the past. How would I do this? I'm gonna miss watching this helicopter. I work in downtown D.C. and would watch it from my office everytime it went by. I hope the crew members survive and come out of this OK.
