Copter Search Halted After Snow Delays Mission in West Virginia
In Beverly West Virginia a missing Medivac helicopter with four aboard including a critically ill patient, a paramedic and a state trooper triggered a large search. About 100 rescuers scoured five square miles as snow and fog hindered air and ground teams. The pilot reported ice and weather avoidance as contact with Elkins control was lost. Ground crews continued in 25 degree conditions, planning to resume Saturday morning. The patient Alfred Shahan, 45, faced pneumonia shock and kidney failure while the paramedic and pilot were identified as Bill Stone and Carlos Dillon respectively.
