According to Eurocopter all three incidents involved aircraft flying at over 100 knots, with no fatalities.

Looks like a work up for deployment to Afghanistan, fortunately both escaped with only light injuries.

It´ll be interesting to read the final accident report.
Until further notice, all German Tigers are grounded.
(To be precise: It was agreed to not fly them until an initial report on the cause is known to the operating squadrons)

They are flying again, so obviously no technical cause of the crash.

@ Bellrider: Be sure there will be an report. Will it be accessable to the public? Most probably not. ;-)

Apart from general curiosity, what for exactly do you need this report?
Unless you're a tiger driver what exactly can you learn from it? How will it help improve your flight safety?

Those who will need the information will surely get it. And that is what I took from his post.

I think most pilots are reading accident reports not due to the sensationel story. I only read all these staff to learn more about avoiding these situations by myself.
So i'am always interested what's the cause of the accident. (it's not importent what kind of heli crashed but the reason why)
When it was a technical reason why the Tiger crashed, you are right!!!
