Terrible news...  :(

bodies were found in the helicopter and two were in the field nearby


I wonder what could of happened? Strange how not all of the victims were found inside the helicopter. Something happened in mid air maybe?  :-?

Thrown out on impact, nothing new in that. Also Robinson are not having much luck lately.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Hmmm most likely... Just when it says 'Field Nearby' it sounds like it was a good few meters away from the crash site. So if they were thrown out that far it probably wasn't due to impact. Still....  :-?

It's quite possible it hit something or hit the ground with a high forward speed, so it isn't that far fetched.

I think they mean nearby the crash in the field. Not in a nearby field.


That is more likely
