Bonneville incident

Landing a Heli on the salt?????

[JoshS]

They must not have felt it was too serious to have been willing to drive all the way to Salt Lake City. They could have driven him to Wendover (close) and then flown him from there. Wendover is right next door to Bonneville on the Nevada state line. It has an airport including a heliport, lots of casinos, etc. It's where everyone stays when visiting Bonneville.

exact opposite.

Remember the SLOW ambulance ride for Earnhart Sr.?

they choose the ambulance due to the extent of his injuries and assessed the chances of living to minimal/none.

There were helos on the salt........

More info, the car rolled for a mile before coming to a stop. During the impact his leg was severed and he bleed out before the EMT's arrived.

they put him in the ambulance and called the t.o.d en route to avoid having the track shutdown for investigations .... happens more than you would know
