2. Oh thank God.

A ray of hope.

3. The odds are not good if she is in such condition as to be reported dead

even if it is quickly retracted.

This is a fast-moving story and we must keep track of it minute-to-minute

6. That is why they went there

having worked in emergency scenes they are chaotic. Emergency scenes with VIPs ten times as much.

8. Uncredited reports mean nothing re: odds

Likely someone just making shit up.

4. Thank you!

I hope she makes it. Crossing my fingers.

5. The next 24-48 hours will tell the story

It is amazing sometimes the recovery people make from these things... but it really is up to the FIRST HOUR... the GOLDEN HOUR.

11. EMS took 30 minutes to arrive.

That's half the golden hour.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. And they used AIr Evac

so they were within the golden hour.

I know just how critical this is though.

7. Oh good grief...I hate conflicting reports...

But this allows me to breathe again.

I am hopeful for her survival...

I will consider him a total fraud.
