Helicopter's blades 'broke off'

[G-CPTN]

A fatal accident inquiry has heard how a helicopter's rotor blades broke off and sliced through the aircraft's cabin before it crashed.
They had been inspecting National Grid pipelines before the crash in Perthshire in 2005.

Apologies if this has already been reported.

Wreckage from the Bell 219 Jet Ranger
I thought it was an ageing 206!
But all the same, a very sad event:(

If you had noticed the date of the incident and then done a little 'back reading' in here you might have discovered that this matter has already been thoroughly discussed.

The incident is not news. The result of the inquest might very well be. We shall have to see.


Best Wishes
