Are 2 aircraft going to make a difference? There were 3 officers already on the helicopter that crashed. If weather related, at least one of them should have come up with a better idea than flying into the ground. That said, I can also see how training in bad weather is important but at some point, it gets to be too much to continue at that altitude in that weather. Of course, it's easy to see/say something like that in retrospect and from a distance.

edit: I hope for the sake of all those on board and their families, something out of their control is found to be the cause of this tragedy.
