Helicopter down in Northern California

[mjg407]

Carson Copters lost a S-61 in a crash in the Trinity National Forest on Tuesday night. 9 presumed dead and four injured. The copter was under contract to the USFS fighting fires in Northern Ca. My thoughts and prayers to the families.

Some additional information. Chilling recount on what had happened. It's pretty devastating right now to many in the industry.
