EagleMed Crash Victims Remembered

NEWS 9

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Investigators are still trying to figure out what caused an EagleMed helicopter to go down near Okarche last week. And Thursday the lives of the two men who were killed in that crash were remembered at Crossings Community Church.

There are still a lot of questions into what caused that tragic crash one week ago. But the focus was healing for the victims' families, for the first responders who worked alongside the EagleMed crew and for the community who wanted to take part.

Al Harrison and Ryan Duke are the two crew members who died in that crash. Michael Eccard is the one crew member who survived. Eccard has been upgraded from critical to serious condition. The crew was on its way to pick up a patient when their chopper went down near Okarche.

The pastor leading the memorial service said the service was a time to pay tribute to them.

"It's our change to thank them and applaud them, not just the responders, but their families who know a lot a lot of the times when their spouses head to work they know there's a chance they may not return," Pastor Lance Ward of the Crossings Community Church said.
