Military rescue crews had managed to parachute into the scene shortly after daybreak Friday, a CFB Trenton spokesman had said.
“It’s in dense brush about two miles off the airport,” Capt. Keith Hoey told the Star.
The helicopter had been flying from its base in Moosonee to Attawapiskat when it went down just after midnight.

+1. Ive been in and out of Moose too many times to count. This is indeed a sad day. My condolences to the friends and family of those lost. These northern medevac teams are top notch people who sacrifice alot to provide the services they do, in the most remote places in our country. My respect for those that do this job!Sulako wrote:Terrible news. When I flew medevacs, Moose was a familiar stop.
