At least seven people died and three were critically injured when two medical helicopters collided and crashed near a hospital in Flagstaff, Ariz. about 3:45 p.m. Sunday afternoon. Initial reports say a patient was among the dead. There were no casualties on the ground and, of course, authorities were not speculating on a cause. "As you can imagine, we've got lots of heaps of metal to go through," Capt. Mark Johnson of the city's fire department told CNN. "It's just difficult right now."
