Hot and Hi,

answer this if you will.................and honestly.

Do you have children?

If your children had been airborne in that helo....they would be dead now.

If your children had been in that same helicopter but it had been a twin squirrel, they would almost certainly be alive and still bugging the hell out of you!

A twin in this particular instance would have limped to safety on the river bank.

5 human beings and all their families would be sitting down to dinner right now., talking about the near miss they had that day.

Think carefully before you respond. Twins actually make a difference in instances like this. In fact if any COMMERCIAL operation flies over inhospitable terrain - it should be mandatory. But I accept that for most - the extra costs don't add up.

The funny thing is - if you think twins asre expensive - try having a fatal accident.

This company will never recover from this.
