The Alpine Air Ambulance Crash: Five Lives Lost After Takeoff in West Texas If you are reading this page, someone you love was on that aircraft — a patient being flown to a hospital, a wife who refused to let her husband go alone, a nurse who kissed her family goodbye for a night shift that never ended, or a pilot who fought the controls all the way to the ground. You are sitting with grief that has no manual, and somewhere in the same grief is a question you may not even know to ask yet: why did this happen, and who let it?
