I'm yet to see a photo of the tail boom, tail rotor or main rotor blades. You just don't see them on any of the barge photos.
Well a word of caution - the attorney will chase the money and there’s more money in Leonardo’s pockets than the estates of the pilots.

Either way - it’s worrying if it is a structural failure for the rest of the fleet but I’d be more than happy to see the pilots absolved of the blame heaped on them so quickly in this thread.
