The chopper has been raised from the bottom of the sea. Blade parts will be raised later. Here are some pictures of it. As I understand it the door that is open was opened by divers. http://www.iltalehti.fi/2005/08/13/2...23100_uu.shtml

Both pilots were either not wearing their seatbelts or they survived the crash and then opened their seatbelts. Anyway their seatbelts were found open. All the passengers weared their seatbelts when they were found. One of the pilots is still missing.

Now it’s also reported that the Estonians have labelled the investigation as secret???

There is already a lot of information available about this accident. I am confident that the reason of this accident will be found shortly. What will take longer is to find what lead to the accident.

The chopper was equipped with a “black box”. Some reports say it’s CVR some say it’s FDR some say it’s both. Anyone know what’s the fact in this case?
