Post German SAR UH-1 crash

I don't know if anyone has heard about this. . .A German Air Force UH-1 was called out on an SAR mission near Hamburg but just before reaching the spot it was called back. Eye witnesses said it then entered a steep turn, pitched up nearly inverted and crashed to the ground, the main rotor seperating on the way down and landing on a VW van. All five crew were killed including Doctor and the Para-medics.. .The shock came two days later, both the pilot and the crew-chief had blood tests the result was 1,5 and 1,2 pro-mil levels of alchohol respectively, in other words p*ssed.. .How do you feel about that?
