As the clock struck 19:58, the Control Room stirred to life with the blare of a state 0 alert from Helimed 27. In a heartbeat, emergency services leaped into action. The Metropolitan Police, London Ambulance Service, and London Fire Brigade raced to the crash site where the stricken Helimed awaited. Within minutes, a flurry of responders descended upon the scene, their synchronised efforts dousing flames with the London Fire Brigade's precision.

Amidst the chaos, the London Ambulance Service swiftly initiated treatment for the three casualties aboard the ill-fated helicopter.

Miraculously, within a mere 15 minutes, the crisis abated, and the patients were whisked away to Mount Zonah, standing sentinel just beyond the wreckage.
