An Airbus Helicopters AS350 emergency medical aircraft crashed on the roof of the University of New Mexico hospital in Albuquerque seconds after liftoff on April 9. The helicopter, operated by Petroleum Helicopters International, had just dropped off a patient. It failed to clear the hospital’s roof as it attempted to lift off. A fire broke out shortly after the helicopter rolled over, but was quickly extinguished by the hospital’s roof sprinkler system. Of the three people aboard, only the pilot sustained minor injuries.
