S92 shaft failure

Shame the quality is not there!!
The S-92 involved in Tuesday’s flight turnaround is operated by Bristow Norway. The aircraft was reportedly on its way to the offshore rig Maersk Reacher with 17 people on board when, according Jackson, “a high speed shaft coupling failed,” causing automatic protective features to kick in.
One of the helicopter’s engines shut down, as designed. The aircraft is certified to operate on one engine and was able to return to base safely.
