Pilot of crashed medical helicopter released from hospital

PHILADELPHIA — The pilot of a medical helicopter that crash-landed without loss of life next to a church in a residential area of suburban Philadelphia last week expressed gratitude to his crew and first responders as he was released from a hospital on Sunday, according to AP.

Danial Moore was wheeled out of the Penn Presbyterian Medical Centre emergency room on Sunday to applause from police and first responders and spoke to reporters before being taken home by ambulance with a police escort.

“I’m just feeling fortunate, you know — I had God as my co-pilot that day and we took care of the crew and we landed in his front yard, so that was kind of nice,” he said.

The Eurocopter EC135 medical helicopter owned by Denver-based Air Methods, part of the LifeNet programme based in Hagerstown, Maryland, was also transporting an infant girl and two other crew members when it came down at about 1pm Tuesday next to Drexel Hill United Methodist Church in Upper Darby.

Moore said he didn’t remember “much of anything” about the crash, crediting other crew with rescuing him and getting the young patient to an ambulance.

“I remember waking up and looking up and seeing a whole company of firefighters looking down at me and that’s a real good feeling,” he said, expressing gratitude to first responders and the medical team treating him.

“I’m just glad to be here and I’m glad that I got my crew back alive,” he said. “I always tell people I just drive the bus; the heroes are in the back, working on the patient.”
