It was a 412HP that belonged to the Mexican Department of Comunications and Transport, they were doing a RADS flight over southern Mexico City, here comes the odd part, 5 adults and 2 children(pilots children), girl and boy less than 10 y.o. Both pilots and the mechanic dead, everyone else badly hurt, helicopter was complety destroyed, I have no idea what happened.

I flew this aircraft for almost 6 years, you can see many pictures of it in the Rotorheads at Work Thread as XC-SCT2, it was so well kept up that you could eat of the rotor head, had beautiful avionics, HUMS, changable VIP and utility interiors, it took me to all of Mexico and Central America, and is responsible for saving the lives of hundreds of people during hurricane Mitch in Honduras.

A real tragedy,
