This morning (10:58 am ET)an Aero-Med helicopter attempting to leave the heli-pad on top of Spectrum Hospital in Grand Rapids went into a spin and crashed.
The Grand Rapids Press has been reporting hourly on the mishap on it's M-Live blog page.
The Grand Rapids Press said "A Federal Aviation Administration official reports there were two people in the helicopter, a pilot and a passenger. Both escaped without serious injuries."
We are thankful for the safety of those involved and the quick reaction by area firemen and police officials.
The fire was under control within a short period of time.
Kudos to The Grand Rapids Press in their fantastic coverage (as always) of the situation.
