The siren does a great job letting you know there's a helicopter, I never would have noticed otherwise.
Never would have heard either, LOL
Man just casually dying
Despacito in the backround
LOL! Only in London
Incredible to see the air ambulance landing right in the heart of the action of the big city. Brilliant.
AWESOME
I have seen similar situation in Vienna, Austria a couple years ago, with an air ambulance landing in the middle of an intersection
HEMS London has permission to land basically anywhere they deem suitable as a landing spot for emergency scene calls like this.
I once witnessed an air ambulance "land" on the _railing_ of the road, hanging there like a bird on a powerline, to be close enough to the accident and fly a victim out. Landing in the middle of a park like this is child's play to them, but still cool as heck.
3:00 - Someone definitely has Trauma Team Platinum package :D (CyberPunk flashbacks)
Awesome catch!
strange they sent a heli when st thomas hospital is just the other side of bridge.
St thomas isn't a major trauma hospital. So the patient would need to go to kings or another mtc. This would be due to the bullseye on the windscreen of the bus - massive trauma. The helicopter team can put the patient to sleep and give blood to stabilise the patient prior to transport. It's an amazing service
Siren on the helicopter very interesting. Never heard one here in the states. Figure its loud enough. Videos are great btw. I just found your channel.
Thankyou mate
@@999_UK hello, I am a british child who has experienced being in an ambulance
The one's in the states also have sirens. My local air ambulance operates an AW169 which is much bigger and louder than London's air ambulances and they also have sirens to scatter people when they are standing on the upcoming landing zone.
Thanks
I would have thought if you couldn't here a helicopter a siren is unlikely to be heard.
2:13 Nice still. The statue guiding the helicopter in.
Cant beat the VRS! What a stunner of a vehicle.
Absolutely brilliant 👏 catch
Incredible to watch. Thank you 😊
Bloody well done the Helimed pilot
Best of the best video great episode
Thankyou
Fantastic catch
the way its filmed makes it seem so chaotic when the helo lands
Excellent catches
Nice video, mate! Hope everyone could recover from that horrific accident. But what does the heli use the siren for? Warning the people on the ground it's approaching?
Yes mate exactly that
I would assume it’s to alert that it’s a helimed chopper as opposed to a regular one as the guidelines for landing are different. Ie to land a personal chopper in the centre of London in a park like this would be near impossible.
Great video 👍👍👍👍
Jeeeez, I missed out here! Nice one Tyler
Cheers mate
Superb filming.
very nice and thanks to what I don't understand is the people who don't move!!
And the two cyclists who pulled across the 'blue lighting' police car. Bring in number plates for cyclists. I comment as a cyclist !
Cool video!
21st Century London Emergency Services.
Awesome!
Well. That was awesome!
Cool! 2 weeks ago when the Year 6s took their SATs, it was reported that an ambulance helicopter showed flying by a school and it was because someone nearby died due to a car accident, they were on an electric scooter and a car crashed into him and the passengers and driver for the car have died.
When am three run off from the copter it was like the start of *"Ghostbusters!"*
Great video did hems take the crash victim to hospital
No
Cool!
Like a well oiled machine! Only downside is that div at 3:26 marching in with his camera to record in their faces. Imagine doing that while they're trying to get to someone seriously injured, completely shameless
Every ones got ice running through their blood
That is bad I am in London hope he is ok
does that helicopter have no tail rotor ?
Uses the NOTAR system in short it has a little fan in the tail instead of a rotor, it's both quieter and safer for personel since the heli is always landing in public areas unlike normal helis, it's safer to not have the big spinning rotor on the back. Tho I'm sure there's other reasons why they use this heli too 🙂
Some helicopters have a system which has a fan inside the tail and they can rotate the hole at the end of the tail to direct the airflow instead of a tail rotor
Safer to be around and looks really cool ( doubt that's one of the reasons though)
I swear emergency blue lights are getting smaller and smaller on uk vehicles
It's because LEDs are getting better - brighter and with less power draw. You get thousands and thousands of lumens from small LED units now.
COOL! Im still wandering what happened. Alos wandering why BTP Is there.
BTP : British Transport Police
Cause a london bus was involved
BTP have juristriction with the Met, within 1 mile from any railway station, Waterloo Station is just around the corner.
St thomases hospital is at the foot of Westminster bridge
What helicopter model is this? It has no tail rotor?
London HEMS uses the MD902 helicopter :)
MD Explorer. They use the 'NOTAR' system that has a fan inside the tail boom (notice it looks like a pipe) and vents on the side to provide counter-torque, with the very end being able to turn to provide yaw control
@@intercity125Safer too for when they load patients. It would hurt a little if you accidentally walked into a tail rotor.
@@craigshrimpton5765Quite. But they are being replaced anyway with a pair of fenestron-tailed H135s
What happened to require all of the response teams
🚁 with siren 🚨 that's first
Some US states either used to or still require air ambulances to have them.
we also have a helicopter as well :)
thats badass
The Brit’s are so onto it…..
St Thomas hospital is right round the corner why didn't they take the injured person there?
If a patient is critically injured, they need to be taken to a Major Trauma Centre (MTCs), there are only 4 MTCs in London: The Royal London Hospital, St Mary's, St Georges and Kings College Hospital. St Thomas' Hospital is only a Trauma Unit Hospital and doesn't have full capabilities to deal with a Major Trauma Patient
Trauma hospitals deal with the proper stuff. So they would be serious life threatening conditions.
My like took it to 999
😂
The Freemasons love their orange...
Nothing to do with the Freemasons, HEMS have had their orange flight suits since they started in 1989.
Not the mason symbol on the helicopter
There's always got to be someone that runs up close to the police van and medics just to get a video.
I know what it’s like in an ambulance, not an air ambulance but I once was in an ambulance although I was unharmed cause I had been in a car accident, it was in Cornwall on the A30
Ps: this was two years ago
AMAZING
@@elizabethkuchta5097 thanks I guess
T... RESPECT
What's the purpose of the vehicle at 4:18?
It’s one of the London Air Ambulance Rapid Response Vehicles (RRV), which combined with the helicopters ensure a 24/7 coverage for the city, as no flights take place at night. They may also be used during the day when the helicopters are already engaged elsewhere. The cars carry the same physicians / advanced trauma team and equipment.
Advanced paramedics, same guys in the helicopter but are instead in a car
See we aren't useless at responding to an emergency
How come the helicopter doesn't have a tail rotar?
It has a fan inside the tail which can direct air instead
Means you don't have a massive blade of death to decapite you or a tree
Pretty useful for an air ambulance I would think
I bet all the cup and ball scammers who infest that bridge ran off when all those police turned up
A helicopter with a siren?!? As if a helicopter isn't loud enough. But maybe they purpose is to warn the deaf to stay out of harms way?
Read what you’ve just said very very slowly
@@JoeWilson738 What? Can't hear ya!
So what was the actual clinical problem? Every comment on how nice all looks but not any relevant info.
Damage to front nearside of Bus....Looks like its hit a pedestrian....
Major trauma / blunt force injuries most likely
I don't think emergency service helicopters have sirens.... 🤔
Anyone else saw the freemason sign on the chopper? 4:41
it also says 'London freemasons' lol.
Some of the fleet was purchased with funds donated by the London Freemasons. London Fire Brigade also have an aerial turntable vehicle purchased this way.
The London freemasons are very charitable and do really good things for the London emergency services
Why would this be needed ? Feels like they should be close to a hospital by car?
may be in an immovable condition that needs specialist treatment
To deliver specialist advanced trauma doctors and paramedics to the scene as quickly as possible for potentially life-saving pre-hospital intervention that would otherwise not be available.
There's a hospital very close. But often the air ambulance is more to get a doctor and equipment to the site quickly. The helicopter is based at St Georges which is about 10 miles away - that hospital is specifically equipped to deal with major trauma and so will probably have more specialised doctors and if needed a better place to take them than a smaller local hospital.
Trauma hospitals are doe those patients with life threatening conditions.
Missing limbs, breathing difficulties, lung collapse and many more.
Normal hospitals can’t deal with the super bad conditions that the public may gain from accidents.
3:29 why are they not in an ambulance
Because the ambulances are on scene dealing with patients - don’t have spare ones sitting around ready to pick up the Medic1 team
Did the bus slam its breaks on and a passenger went flying into the wind screen?
That's why bus drivers shouldn't slam their breaks on and should be careful when slowing down.
Looks more like it struck a pedestrian.
grass
Usually it's others pure stupidity stepping out, running out without looking, I've unfortunately been the driver of such an incident.... I can tell you people can fly and the sound of their skull hitting the ground is something I'll never forget......
🚓
Bro I know where that is iv walked on that bridge it’s in London
It's literally parliament Square......
Probably the second most famous place in London
Don’t forget that HEMS, like other medivac helicopters in UK are charity funded….
I'm happy to be MD Helicopters sales agent
The bus is right next to St Thomas’ Hospital. Why do they need an air ambulance?
You could carry the patient to the A&E from the accident in less than two minutes or bring the A&E team to the patient. The hospital has a full A & E team. It’s a London teaching hospital. This doesn’t make any sense. Unless the patient needs to be cut out of the bus or braced before moving. (It just proves tourists will stand in front of anything to get a good picture - even an accident!)
Probably needed the specialist team for a rescue
Because it is not a MTC. If the patient needed certain skills there and then even before extraction then HEMS would attend
The A&E team at a nearby hospital will be extremely busy dealing with their existing workload. The HEMS team are the best of the best and are dedicated to this type of response. Depending on the injury, clinical decisions are made about the best hospital to transfer the patient to, which is more often than not done by road. So St Thomas' could have been deemed suitable if the injuries were not critical or complex.
Tommies doesn't specialise in trauma, St Mary's does (I forget St Thomas's specialisms but I remember it was the destination if you got bitten or spat in the face. Kensington & Chelsea specialised in hand injuries). HEMS has a specialist team who are best equipped to stabilise or even do emergency surgery in the street. If an injury is so serious to warrant HEMS even on Tommies' doorstep then it is probably the best move for the patient to in the street stabilise and then take them straight to St Mary's.
Siren from the helicopter 😅 don't think so
sooo they flew the medics in but not the patient out 🤨🤣🤣🤣
This happens more often than you’d think where a helicopter delivers an advanced trauma team including doctor(s), but the patient will be taken by ground ambulance. Sometimes the most important thing is advanced pre-hospital intervention i.e. stabilising the patient as much as possible at the scene (more so than a standard paramedic could do), and not just simply getting them to a hospital as quickly as possible.
One of the nearest major trauma centres to Westminster would be St Mary’s Hospital which is around a 15-20 minute drive away on blue lights, likely faster than the time it would take to drive the patient back to the helicopter, safely on-board, and then off to the helipad.
Those people/tourists should have been move out of parliament Square and give respect to the person injured
Jesus that music in the background is disrespectful. Like the emergency services don't have enough to focus on and hearing that shite in the background
Should London just shut down because 1 guy was stupid enough to walk out in front of a big red bus?
A small point - HEMS doesn't have a siren on the helicopter - that one you heard would have been from one of the other emergency vehicles. Great video though 👍👍👍👍
On the contrary, G-EHMS (and likely G-LNDN by extension) does have a siren mounted under the helicopter to help disperse pedestrians from a potential landing site.
It does have a siren, with an intermittent yelping sound. Have a look at this older video of G-EHMS landing.
Goto 4: 28 mins.

Guys, having been present when HEMS has landed (I work for one of the emergenct services) I have never heard it in 15+ years service, so I'll maintain my opinion that it doesn't have one. These days with so much fake stuff around, I tend not to believe anything, unless I can see it/touch it/ smell it!
@@TheDastardlyDick I mean someone's literally given you video evidence of it, I've also been present when it's landed and heard it, but sure you keep your belief that it doesn't. Make it make sense.
Actually it does, I have seen it land many times where I work.
Isn't it quicker to just take them to St. Thomas'?
It depends. If the patient needs neurosurgical input, or specialist trauma input then a trauma centre such as Royal London, St Mary's, King's College or St George's would be a better option as they have all specialties under one roof. St Thomas's is an amazing hospital but hasn't got the specialist trauma neurosurgical centre so the patient would have had to be transferred anyway
@@benjamincronin6730 Ah OK. I thought they'd just get them to a hospital ASAP, then sort out specialist treatment. Thanks
Perhaps they did if the HEMS team though they didn't need a Major Trauma Centre. By road, King's College would be the nearest.
a hundred good hospitals within a 5 minute ambulance ride of the location and they send a helicopter. nobody pisses away money like the public sector
There speaks a man who doesn’t know what a Major Trauma Center is.
🚁 She done it with a doctor on a helicopter.
Still very much annoys me that the London Air Ambulance, in fact al of them have to be supported by charities, they should be funded centrally by Government.
Plus if companies want to support them do so, but stop with the fashion of emblazoning your corporate details or logos across the vehicles and aircraft, it's tacky.
well if a company purchases a vehicle for emergency services its not wrong to put their name tag on it. Plus Freemasons isn't even a company its a collection of rich individuals in a organisation that is branded as freemasons. They meet regularly for business or charity work and decide whether to sponsor a charity or buy for example a emergency vehicle for the emergency services in the u.k. They have actually bought alot of things for emergency services such as helicopters, specialised fire engines and fire boats/rescue boats and even donate money to run such charities like london air ambulance.
The London Air service IS supported by the government, they get yearly donations from the government
