A medical helicopter crashed killing three people. There were two nurses on the helicopter and they both died as did the pilot. The helicopter ended up crashing in a town called Compton near the city of Rochelle. The chopper was destroyed in the crash says the FAA. The hospital that these nurses and pilot are from say that they were some of the best trained for the job. The pilot of the helicopter needs to be able to land on landing sites that aren't normal in a short amount of time. Being in a medical helicopter you do take risks and this was one of them.
