I hope the fall victim has recovered - that would have sucked if the rescue heli had not made it. Very lucky

Looks like to me the lower right skid hit the wire not the rotors. Nice save by the pilot but with all that rescue equipment in the area they should have had the common sense to light up those lines with their spot lights

Yeah, they got me one time for an ambulance ride.
They asked me if I wanted a ride over to the next hospital since they were going there already, those ****ers charged me and I couldn't get out of it.
$300 later...

not to undermine the man's accident, but who climbs a ladder at night?

Nice spotting by the jackass fireman

Yes, The Fire dept should have had that rescue, landing, take off site lit up with spotlights

Damn lucky the helicopter didn't get tangled in the wires and crash.
