Just found on MSF: http://www.ivpressonline.com/articles/2 ... news01.txt" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Apparently no serious injuries, but the helicopter looks bad.

i dont know what you call 2 broken legs.. but too my opinion that's bad ;)
One of the crew members suffered two broken legs during the 2:30 a.m. accident and was flown to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, Silva said. The crew member’s condition was not immediately known.
well.. just walk it off then :) :twisted:

Cheers!
