BBC NEWS | England | Dorset | Winch fails in helicopter rescue
BBC report is slightly misleading. As I understand it - but I am happy to be corrected;
Helo (AW139) goes to dive job, as it has in the past and as it will in the future.
Helo lifts cas and winchman from the dive boat. Winch jams with the two of them still some feet from helo. Helo flies short distance to flat land, with cas and winchman dangling. Helo lets down and they then take the crewman and cas on-board. Continue flight to hospital.
One must applaud the crewman who continued resuscitation action in "dangling mode".
Normally this would be a non-event, a minor glitch with a winch, but given the current situation with the AW139 it will given more attention than it might deserve. It has happened before on a training lift.
Or you could say that it was a critical failure of an essential system during a rescue.
Your choice according to the point you are trying to prove.
