I was refering to an earlier commercial crash in which the aircraft bellied in. The first unit on scene was a C.G. helicopter. my friend, a ASM entered the wreckage and found the pilot alive, conscious and with what appeared to be non life threatening injuries. He then moved on to seek out other survivors. Another crewman soon informed him the pilot had succumbed. My friend was very upset and went back to confirm it was the same crewman. The pilot died of shock, as apparently several others did that night. My point is this, both rescuers and the victims of accidents are easily lulled into false complacency after rescue. The effects of injury or exposure to the elements do not cease just because a search party, ambulance or John Wayne show up. <br><br>
