The whole aircraft ballistic parachute system equipped on the Cirrus has proven its worth yet again as it has saved the lives of two on board only a day after a different Cirrus chute deployment in Greensboro rescued the pilot and sole occupant.

Unfortunately 3 lives were lost as the occupants of the helicopter involved in the mid air collision perished during the accident.

Just saw this on ABC, the Cirrus and a helicopter had a mid-air, and the three dead were on the chopper. Both people on the plane survived.

I like the way they figured out how to tie a mid-air collision story to ebola. Great work, associated press.
