Though this was not a "physical" impossibilty, it was out of the ordinary. We had to land a helo in a very small area, one that is smaller than is normally considered safe. We are trained to land one, i agree, but this was done in unfavorable wind conditions, bystanders to close for comfort, and power lines all around. We took the risk to save the life of a boating accident victim even though we were told "there is no way you are going to get a helo in there". Reply »
