Four killed after US air ambulance carrying patient crashes

This Air ambulance plane carrying a heart disease patient to Utah hospital crashed and exploded in a car park in Nevada, killed 4 people aboard. Three crew members and a patient were killed on Friday night.

The plane crashed in a mining company car park near a casino and other businesses, Elko police Lt  Rich Genseal said that the Plane was apparently experiencing mechanical problems as it was "climbing after taking off for Utah when it lost altitude and crashed. Federal Aviation  administrator  spokesman Allen Knitter said no-one on the ground was injured in any way, and there was not a lot left off the aircraft after the flames were put out. 

Hillary Walker, a manager at a grocery store about 200 yards from the crash said that the crash caused  parked vehicles to catch fire, before dozens off rounds of ammunition went off. Ms Walker noted that many off the vehicles in the parking lot were mine workers vehicles likely to have ammunition in "Its hunting season" she stated.

I picked this story as at first i thought it was quite ironic that an air ambulance instead off healing people killed people, and secondly it is quite tragic that this was to happen. After reading the whole source i read the bit about ammunition which was also quite shocking as that could have possible killed more people than it did.
