Oh shit! I thought it was a flight upward... I mean to upward on other side. Kinda surprised when I saw 280 people died from flood, thank God it's not that

When helicopters fly over to rescue someone. Because of the flood no one could drive so they needed the helicopters for rescue

This is just known as a helicopter rescue. Life flight refers to a flying ambulance, typically used for trauma patients.

I was scrolling to see what it is and what kind of weird title it is. Do you think the term is regional or national? More like southern US?

What’s weird about the title?

u/Valuable-Yard-4154 11m ago
I'm an European francophone and didn't know what life flight is. It's the first time I see it or it's the first time I'm confronted with it. So for me not knowing the meaning of the term the title made no sense.
Somehow I was thinking the flight of fleeing. Fleeing for your life.

Sorry but it’s not my fault. I don’t feel the title should be called weird because you didn’t know that term. It may just be an American term i don’t know

Have seen stuff like this on the way to corpus. We were on a high way or free way overpass and I was thinking, damn they really have ramps here for water skis all over!
It was the tops of roofs of the houses
