Helitrans (Norway) AS-350 missing off coast of Germany

Hi all,

I´d rather wait for the official report.
Broken tailrotordrives are luckily a very very rare occourence.
But the drives they shear, if the tailrotor gets stopped rapidly, i.e. by immersion into water....
The whole wreck seems so intact, that I have my doubts about a failure in flight...
Probably someone on board the vessel heard something about the broken tailrotordrive and sold it to the press...
Lets wait and see...
Greetings Flying Bull
