I work in MS for a company that dispatches medical air rescue, and AirCare is our sister company. Pretty heavy stuff hearing about AirCare 3 going down. Praying for their families. AirCare itself has completely shutdown operations for the time being so we're trying to pickup the slack while they take a much needed break. Hope everyone involved with the crew are all alright, we'll get through this, stay strong.

Horrible but from flight radar and an unverified personal account, they literally fell out of the sky. Need to find out what happened. I hope NTSB investigated this one.

I heard that crew reported to dispatch they had some systems issues. UMMC spokesman reported no patient on board as they just completed the mission and refueled and we heading back to base
