Huntsville, TX (AHN) - The PHI Air Medical helicopter was the second chopper
to fly the Huntsville-Houston trip on the same morning. The first, a Life
Flight helicopter, turned back because of the low clouds when it was just 10
miles away from Huntsville.

According to Tom Flanagan, chief operating officer of the Memorial Hermann
Hospital-The Texas Medical Center, which runs the Life Flight program, the
return of their helicopter prompted them to contact PHI, which was based at
Bryan airport. PHI was informed of the first flight's failure and weighed
the risks before it took the assignment

Unfortunately, the second attempt was not successful and resulted in the
death of its passenger and three crew members on Monday morning.
