Hot new helicopter/rotorcraft news

I've never partaken, but I have spent some time in Montgomery. Thankfully we left just as we were running out of restaurants.
This has happened from time to time recently. Usually the pilot has enough lower level, ingrained habit that they're able to get it on the ground despite the rest of the brain turning off (this sounds like a stroke). The fact that they crashed is, unfortunately, the new news here, but bravo to the medic.
Looking at those pictures of a -130, that looks like the aircraft to have this happen in with a patient. Getting forward into the cockpit in most other aircraft is not "easy." Many a discussion has been had at work about ripping a seat out or even trying to shimmy forward with the doors open to get into the cockpit, with the hope of then running through the incapacitated pilot checklist.
