They beat the odds to get everyone out and into rafts on a dark night, my congrats to all. Aircraft stayed upright in 2-3 m waves, so another big plus there.

Lots of talk of the benefit of Jigsaw, but apart from reporting back that the aircraft was floating and didn't have a tailboom, exactly what else did they do? Seems to me the workboat picked everyone up out of the rafts.

So EASA grounds the EC155, nobody wants the 76C++ until they solve the PHI crash, and now the EC225 does its best imitation of a GOM R44. Just what are we safe to fly in?
