Thank you to all the men and women that work on these helicopters. The situations ya'll work in is a matter of life and death. Thank you again for all you do❤
When I worked EMS in Las Vegas I was on a rollover MVA 10 miles out of town with 9 patients. 3 helicopters on the deck at one time, 2 FD engines, FD heavy rescue, FD rescue and 5 ambulances. All 9 were transported, 3 by the helicopters and 6 by ground ambulance. It was a crazy scene! I can only imagine what drivers were thinking as they drive past.
@@mickfunny4185 I swear every time I talk to someone who was in the USCG they always tell me "Wow you're the only person who never asked if I was a rescue swimmer" Not all nonepilots in CG Aviation are swimmers. In fact the biggest majority are crew members.
goof ball Do you feel accomplished and satisfaction at the end of the day? The only reason i ask is because I'm thinking of a future career with life flight.
Of all the emergency medical air lifts that you did, how many of the air lifts do you think were unnecessary and that could have been transported by ground? The reason I asked that question is because I worked in a Level 1 Trauma Medical Center in California and almost half our patients that come by air are not serious enough to travel by air. For example, we get patients by air because they either have a broken arm or leg. In that case, I think they should travel by ground. I guess it is good for the patients to arrive faster by air, but I think we should save our emergency air lifts for our life threatening patients.
I hope everyone was okay in the end. Its bad when one has to land on the highway. But 3 at once I cant even begin to imagine what that scene must have looked like.
Wait until they get the bill for helicopter ride to the hospital I had a friend of mine who had to airlifted to the hospital do a heart attack because of her work she had to airlifted to hospital that her insurance would cover and her insurance would not cover the helicopter ride even though it one from hospital system she was able to eventually get them to pay for it but she had to jump through so many hopes to get it paided
I don't live in this area and I don't know how big your trauma centers are or where they are or how many helipads are on the hospital, but did they go to separate hospitals or the same one!
+Odin Matrix It really depends on the call. I'm originally from the Middle TN area. The Life Flight crew at Vanderbilt is second to none. The Hospital itself is a Level 1 Trauma Level 4 Neo and Level 3 Burn Unit. They have 6 helicopters total and 5 ready to respond at all times. They have a total of 6 bases they operate from and serve Northern Alabama, Southern Kentucky, and Middle TN.
+VOLFANATIC3 i take it you know a lot about Vanderbilt, but what im trying to get at is did these helicopters all go to a hospital with multiple helipads on that hospital or did all 3 go to different hospitals because most hospitals only have 1 helipad
I am almost afraid to ask, but what happened? And where is this at? How do you even call in 3 helicopters, especially without any confusion. This must be a blessed area to even be able to call in 3 helicopters to one scene. I hope everyone is doing well. Peace...
And Lifeflight doesn’t contract with any insurance companies so it’s all out of network. But the good news is that they can’t balance bill you the other 40% of the bill. Thanks to the No Surprises Act
The first thing I would say is that you probably do have at least three, but you don't see them as much BECAUSE you live in a big city. Outside of interfacility transfers, those birds will be used more in rural areas. It would be cost-prohibitive to use them in major cities for scene flights. That's what ground ambulances are for.
This are the great and versatile EADS EC-135 Helicopters.. I am wondering that the U.S. EMS Services aren´t using U.S. Manufactured Helicopters. Looks like they aren´t as good as the european ones.
Guardian081 we have good helicopters in the U.S. it's just we tend to use other allied countries medevecs a little more so. I have to admit I love those helicopters and I mean our country has nice medevec helicopters as well.
George Theofanous that they do. I know Bell has developed “quieter” ones for major cities. To me, it’s the company and how well they take care of their aircraft more than the manufacturer. I live in an area notorious for medical choppers crashing. One not too far from my house, one in my families hometown, and a couple of more in the OKC metro. 2 of those were Eagle Med who really, honestly SUCKED before air methods bought them out and got rid of their birds in the area
That's what happens when your on a motorcycle and get split in 3 pieces and each part weighs excess of 300lbs 😊 just kiddding ... I hope all made it to see another day.
I was the first to land in a 3- ship request on I-95 near Rowland, NC. Strange seeing the traffic stopped for miles
It's bad whenever they need a medi vac, but needing 3, I can only imagine what that accident scene looked like.
Thank you to all the men and women that work on these helicopters. The situations ya'll work in is a matter of life and death. Thank you again for all you do❤
Excellent film footage and sound.
It's a bad day when you need 3 helicopters! I've been in law enforcement for 17 years, and 10 years USCG aviation, and never seen more than 2.
slapshot121212 were you a rescue swimmer?

@@CenTexPhoto o God I can't imagine the scene. I hope everyone made it but judging from your description I'm guessing one or more didn't survive.
Well done and hats off to the coordination 🫡
Well done
great coordination
A FF for 42 years can only impagine what the scene looked like
Been with life flight now for 16 years and have loved every sec of what I do

@@sactownism these were I was the pilot in the middle helo.
could you send me some patches please
@@maxhallman1036Is that the AMC Vandy program?if so, I flew all three at one point.
That's one hell of a medical bill
You have to pay for that in the usa?
@@user-qm9my9ip5n If you're not insured.
@@jamesm568 Oh man. Thanks for ur answer. I just know the situation where i live and here its free
@@user-qm9my9ip5n yes thousands of dollars, you’ll need a second helicopter once you receive the first bill
@@user-qm9my9ip5n only free if you pay your healthcare tax 😂

Two EC-145's/ H145 'sand one EC-135/H135 by Eurocopter/Airbus.
God bless our medical.
Wow. One EC-135 and two EC-145s
I have no experience with anything related to this but damn, pilots sure have a lot of skill.
Thank you to all emergency service workers everywhere.
beautiful sight and nice wether

Wow excellent service 👍
E muito lindo eu adoro muito obrigado
The waiting for the turbulence to go away
Were they taken to different hospitals?
In Which state was this accident taken place on Interstate 40
Well done everybody…👌🏻
Looks like the 2nd pilot was having trouble with rotor wash from the 3rd.
I did
Awesome
Hope they don't have a heart attack after seeing the air ambulance bill $40 to $70k
Which part of 40 is this?
Good medical

Look at google maps. Vanderblt hospital has 2 landing pads. The childerns hospital across street has one so maybe they used that one
Marcello T I'm from across the country so I have had no idea about the local hospitals
@@odinmatrix3116 the first one was getting unloaded when I landed pilot for the middle helo.

One of the ambulances said Dickson County on it. That’s just west of Nashville, TN.
I’m hoping everyone is doing better

It looks like it was training exercise. The military do the same thing.
In the vernacular, I am assuming these folks were AFU...been there done that..not fun or pretty
I 40 where? This could be anywhere from Virginia to Oklahoma. And, what happened?
I40 do go through Virginia
This was in Dickson County TN, just west of Nashville.
Boy that' going to be expensive for whoever got the blame. $25k per ride for starters! Are the folks ok? No details!
We don't have 3 and I live in one of the biggest cities in the United States
kel yeah but u don't live in ny
These helos are from the same hospital but from different places

There are quite a few U.S. manufactured EMS helicopters out there. Bell is making big inroads into the EMS field with their latest models.
Eurocopter produces some pretty solid helos possibly the most used in the world
Many American services use American aircraft. Bell and Sikorsky make fine Medical helicopters. The 206's and 407's are prevalent in the industry.
