'adapted' rather than 'adopted'
Well spotted Squib
I'm not sure if I should laugth or cry.

Gemini Twin

What is odd is that column was written almost 2 years after the accident, but perhaps just a month before the final report - a dumb way to get caught out as a columnist.

Sweeping geralisation alert:
Whatever kind of helicopter you fly, from a Bell 47 to a Boeing CH-47, a loss of MGB transmission pressure dictates an immediate landing.
Not the best plan in a 225, 101, 139 etc!

The author also isn't familiar with how the S-92A floats are activated.
