A woman filming an air ambulance taking off outside her Southend home was seriously injured when the helicopter's powerful downdraft knocked her off her feet, an official report has found. She was about 30 metres away, hidden from the pilot by a hedge. The Essex and Herts crew flew off unaware and only learned four days later. Pilots have since been reminded about downwash dangers.
