That is staggering, over 12,500 people in 15hrs, and going up by 50/min.
Only a handful of whom were listening when they were at school.

There is a limited role for facts on Facebook.
Indeed, however,

The UK helicopter operators have demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt that they can't operate any variant of the Puma safely.

I'd be prepared to bet that you won't be allowed to operate this type in the UK Sector for much longer.

The bears (me being one) just won't put up with this any more.
If it comes to a stand off between the bears and the helicopter operators, I know who's going to win that one.

I'd look at getting another type rating under your belt if you currently drive one in the UK.
