Speculations are worse case with almost no real evidence from site, but
hypothetical approach can be in a way:
- out of fuel case, still auto rotation possible, have been in 139 during one
auto rotation test, only stronger thump, nothing else.
- flotations did not sustain impact, must be strong impact for sure, or auto
logic is not working like expected. Must mention here Copterline S76 case,
replacement helicopters was 2 AW139 units, out of business now tnx to hard crisis
in Helsinki/Tallin area, one year ago.
- CFIT case? We have seen one recently, tail blown away too, tnx to the impact
or maybe not. Any one have ever seen that investigation report? Not likely...
Therefore let's hope that in this case we can expect fair and public report for the
mutual good of all... We all know well, that safety procedures for the last 100 years
are mostly written by blood of our fellows, and we are still in business and around
looking up there, for our own piece of sky...
