Agusta Westland 139 helicopter, reported to have lost tailboom (1) whilst taxying Doha (Qatar)
Many of my workmates do lie, the one I heard this from originally usually doesn't.
The guy I just talked to offshore said that it was the one I was going to be going out on today, the crewchange flight for the NKD (I cancelled as I had other stuff to do)
so, 2 independant sources . . . .
If you don't understand the terminology, I suggest you look it up rather than have a go at the OP
(1) Tailboom, rear part of a helicopter, usually carries the tail rotor. in cases of unplanned departure usually leads to crew and pax requiring at minimum, change of shreddies.
