Senator Proposes Adding Tougher Safety Requirements To FAA
Funding Bill
Before Stacy Friedman lost her sister Erin in the 2005 downing
of a medical transport helicopter in Washington, she never viewed
the job as especially dangerous. In the two years since the Airlift
Northwest Agusta A109 helo carrying nurse Erin Reed, nurse Lois
Suzuki, and pilot Stephen Smith was lost in Puget Sound, however,
Stacy has become a crusader for stricter helicopter ambulance
safety standards.
