USA Today writes about the fatal Iron Complex fire helicopter crash

The USA Today newspaper has written an article about the crash of the helicopter on the Iron Complex fire in northern California in 2008 that killed nine firefighters. The headline calls it a “smokejumper crash”, but there were no smokejumpers on the helicopter operated by Carson Helicopters. The article contains little additional information that was not in our September 19, 2009 update about this crash.
