Default Helicopter Crash in Oklahoma

Well guys I need all your prayers to go out for my family member that was in a helicopter crash near Stillwater last Saturday. It was all over the news hear. It was really a weird moment. Story is my Uncle who is the lead singer for the band Red Dirt Rangers and 2 of his other band members were playing a birthday party for a couple of lawyers in OKC. Well the lawyers rented a helicopter and took these men on a joy ride before they did the show. Well the ended up hitting a power line about 50 feet off the ground and fell into a river head first. It's a horrible tragedy and the 2 men(pilot, and 1 lawyer) died on impact but the 3 band members are alive but in critical condition. So all the prayers would be wonderful. thank you

I am sure my uncle will be ok, he has 2 broken legs, broken collar bone, broken wrist, and 2 punctured lungs and some broken ribs. He is the one in critical condition but my brother said he talked to him yesterday. So I really hope everything is ok, the other guys will be ok, they had a few broken bones and cuts but will be ok.

Not cool. Hopefully everyone will be okay. ...Kinda sounds like what killed Stevie Ray Vaughn.
