We were on the ship as well. We were on floor 13 mid ship and had the helicopter hovering right outside our balcony at 6:00 am. We of course went out on the balcony... hadn't read the message from Virgin telling everyone to stay inside and off decks until AFTER the event. But got video and photos! The way it seemed to work is they hovered over the ship and dropped a basket and/ personnel on deck 16 (there is a closet on Z side right out side the central elevator that says "helicopter" if you want to look at where they probably were) then they swooped around and came back to outside our room. Hovered a while, then went up/around - not sure what they were doing that time. Came back and hovered for a while. Again they went up and assume they picked the patient up and headed off to the North (?). All in all they hovered on our side of the ship 3 times for a total of 15/20 minutes I'd guess. The daughter of the patient posted that they were able to fly to the Azores to join him the next day after we arrived in Funchal. All indications were good for a recovery. Didn't hear an update after the initial one, but hopefully he was well enough to return home. One of the staff showed my husband the video shot from the bridge. he said it was really cool.
