What happens when safety takes a back seat to urgency? On January 29, 2019, a Survival Flight helicopter air ambulance mission turned tragic when a Bell 407 helicopter, N191SF, crashed into forested terrain near Zaleski, Ohio. With the loss of three lives—the pilot, a flight nurse, and a paramedic—this heartbreaking incident revealed critical gaps in risk management, weather decision-making, and organizational safety culture.
In this gripping episode of Brasher Warning, we uncover the chilling details of how pressure to accept a high-risk flight, worsening weather conditions, and incomplete preflight risk assessments culminated in disaster. Learn how the investigation exposed a weak safety culture, inadequate oversight, and flawed tools like the HEMS Weather Tool that failed to warn of snow bands.
This story is a wake-up call for helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) operators and regulators alike, emphasizing the life-or-death importance of safety systems, proactive flight data monitoring, and risk evaluation. Tune in as we break down the tragic events, the systemic failures, and the lessons that must be learned to prevent future tragedies.
