A while ago I was in contact with someone from
www.aviation-safety.net , they have the H225 HL9619 as occurance 230316 in their data base. He said that it is not unusual that an accident investigation takes some two years in South Corea. Corean Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board (ARAIB,
www.araib.molit.go.kr ) is in charge. As the h/c recently had maintenance, the tailboom was separated razor sharp from frame 9900 and the TR was not turning anymore when it hit the sea. I have my own theory about what happened.
