Amen to both 1100 and Mr.Lappos
I have been following this thread and noticed that most people said the right thing, because we all as helicopter pilots, know where the responsibility of this accident rests eventually.
This accident is sad and unfortunate and almost certain to guarantee yet another knee-jerk reaction by the Feds, one that very likely won't do nothing to solve the problem other than cure the symptoms.
For right now let's keep the families in our thoughts.
