....helicopter smashes (2008) I count 4. One unfortunate bloke has cameod in 2 of them.
Early reports are that the latest one was a fatal. I think in the last 2 years there have been at least 8 but possibly more?
"Umremarkable" I hear you say?
Well it deserves attention. The PNG helicopter accident trend line must be developing a worryingly upward pointing vector. Given the huge number of hours flown, weather, terrain and some difficult projects, I think I wouldn't be out of line to state that PNG has enjoyed a relatively low rate of helicopter fatalities and hull loss during the last 15yrs.
Not op's normal in PNG's helicopter {mix-masta bilong jebus christ} world.
