Just think about this. Who were they rescuing? It could have been someone who decided to drive like a jerk and caused an accident. Like a drunk. Affecting the lives and details of all this drama. It just goes to show how one persons decision can affect so much. Thats why our choices can matter. Interesting.

Answer 1

A bigger factor than someone driving like a jerk would be that there are so many more private air ambulance companies in existence now and the competitiion is tight. This may or may not have been a factor, but pilot error is without a doubt the reason.
