Sikorsky S-76C+, OH-HCI, (c/n 760508)

All trapped inside the wreckage.
Divers today recovered the first of 14 bodies.

Estonia's police commander Robert Antropov said divers were not able to open the doors of the helicopter and had to lift the bodies through the shattered front windows.

Last year, Finnish aviation authorities temporarily banned the company from flying helicopters in bad weather due to inexperience of pilots. The restriction was lifted after the company made policy changes.
