My condolences to the HBPD officers family. Hoping the Observer pulls through successfully.

Nothing better than having an air unit over you with a million candlepower of burning love when things get real.

When I posted originally reports were the aircrew survived and were being rushed to hospitals for treatment. Very sad that this turned out this way.
