No I don't really understand your concern in a rational way. Similar kinds of catastrophes WILL happen. In Super Puma variants and other types. People will die in helicopters for the foreseeable future. I somehow doubt it is particularly concerning for the dead, or those who they leave behind, whether it was due to the rotors falling off or any other reason. A fatal accident is a fatal accident in the eyes of those directly involved. I do feel you are just scaremongering.


Of course we all want to try to prevent recurrences but please lets do it in a rational way, not in an irrational and emotive way.
