Morning all,
I saw the footage yesterday on BBC World.
Yes it was a Mi-8.
It is "fair" that the BBC commentator was right on the spot and said they touched building and ceashed.
I do not know who has actually seen the footage.
Apparently what we see on TV was the last of about three turns /orbits that the crew made before landing.
What bothered me was that "last" manoevre - quite a sharp turn (base legto final) at quite a high rate of descend.
I personally (this is a rumour network) saw more of a VortexRing State ... high rate of descend , low speed ... my small rumour after a sad accident.
And it was suppose to be such a joyeas week in the mountains .. eischh.
RIP - comdolence to the crew and pax and their families.
