Rumour has it that it was a MBB 105.

The water in the dam was like glass.

The pilot flew low over the water, got blured vision from the mirror effect, went toooo low, and the rest is history.

The pilot was a citizen of Lesotho, and a member of the Lesotho Defence Force. His helicopter flying experience has been described as "fair".
