No Fatalities in the Nigeria Accident.....but one does wonder how a well trained crew in a very capable helicopter fails to succeed in a Takeoff from an offshore Rig in benign weather. It is not like it is a "secret" that it happened. But, it does seem to be a "Secret" as to why it happened.

A video taken by one of the passengers onboard at the time showing the pax and crew in life rafts was on Youtube for a very short while before it was yanked.

In it could be heard the Co-Pilot making some comments about what happened.

Perhaps i will have to buy some shares in Bristow and attend the Annual Meeting to get my answer as then I would have vested interest and of course Childs et al would want to ensure I was happy with my investment.....right!
