EI-BFH Bell 212

EI-BFH fell into the river near Onni Port (Nigeria) , with no control at all. There were survivors (5 I think) but I think 6 died including the RHS pilot. The pilot in the LHS (who was actually a pax, but on a management visit) survived and is on these forums. He described the descent as like being in free-fall and remarked that he found it surreal to watch bits of the aircraft fall past him on the way down (such as the exhausts!)

Taken from another page in this thread . Sad .
