The main base of an important operator is there at less than 200meters from the wreekage.
A fellow pilot told me that at the time of the accident VIS was well bellow minimums (800mt).
Hems helicopter (AW139 from Erba, 30km to the east) couldn't reach the scene due to low VIS.
Sad to say.....IMHO is the same old story: howner siting in the back is making pressure to GO, recently hired pilot even if experienced not always able to avoid the threat.
