10 days later an S-61 Helo crashed departing H-44 killing 10 of 14 personal aboard. It became known as the “Iron-44)4 s
A medic buddy of mine had been spiked out at that work area and was supposed to be on that flight (#3) down, but was bumped to the #2 flight down with all his medical gear because of weight and volume. It was his last day of his 14 day assignment. All transports were suspended and the 4th group was forced to depart on foot for the long journey down off the mountain.

I was there for both these events as a medic, and I was to be my buddies replacement up at 44. My flight never made it down like the previous two Gand instead burned for 2 days on the side of the mountain.
