Police helicopter down in Nairobi
Sad news this morning a police helicopter crashed this morning in Ngong just out of Nairobi. Seven fatalities including Kenya's Security Minister and his assistant. Two police pilots and two bodyguards perished as well. Early unconfirmed reports indicate that the helicopter was already on fire, or at least was emitting smoke before the crash.
What saddens me is that any meaningful investigation will probably be hampered or not be effective due to early contamination of the scene by spectators and non essential movement of aircraft parts by untrained investigators and even journalists as seen on television. Same as seen in Nigeria in the Dana Air crash.
At least now from reports the scene has been secured as I type.
