Tennessee medical helicopter crash kills 2 hospital workers who were trying to save a sick child

Just earlier today, a hospital helicopter crashed in Tennessee on its way to pick up a child that needed medical attention. The helicopter departed Memphis's Le Bonheur Children's Hospital early this morning. The pilot was very experienced, their plans were simple, and there was no worry. The helicopter contained a respiratory therapist and a nurse from the hospital. Both of these individuals have been reported dead. No information has been released about the pilot. It was estimated that the helicopter flew for about a half an hour before it crashed into thick forest. It is not known why the vehicle fell from the sky. The placement of the crash made it difficult for rescue officials to get to the scene. The ailing child that was to be picked up was able to be transported on ground in an ambulance. Another crash of a Hospital Wing helicopter in Tennessee was in 2010, when a pilot attempted to outrun a storm, killing him and two nurses.
