OK....time for a question for the odd few that see this as no big deal.
Having looked at the score marks made by the fenstron blades....what would it take for you to accept the proposition that this is in fact a very big deal although with a favorable outcome?
Can anyone fail to see just how close this came to being a situation very likely to have resulted in serious injuries and/death?
The thought of suddenly losing torque control at a time one is pulling a lot of power in the final stage of landing....scares me. If you have ever ridden out one of those events one remains converted to avoiding that however possible.
If I had been the handling pilot when this had happened....I would consider myself one very lucky guy to have it turn out the way it did.
212man sees it right.
