Sad News.Utility Line Helicopter Down Near Smethport PA.
RIP...those that do this type of work are normally highly trained, hopefully this was not HEC as that will not be good for the industry in the US right now,

Skidwork not shorthaul. Early reports are chain hoist let loose, phase dropped making contact with the skid. Aircraft rolled and rotor contact was made with the tower. Experienced and respected powerline pilot in the left seat. RIP brothers.
