In case you haven't seen it, there was a documentary which showed how Airbus makes them:

Rotor blades from 10:47 onwards

Glad all are safe I know some of Christophorous 1 crew as they parked next door to my mates Flugpolizei Innsbruck ( my late mate Markus was their chief until fatal accident in EC135P2 March 2011);






OAMTC Flugrettung celebrated 4 decades of operations 3 weeks ago...

With so many operations something is bound to go wrong. I’m glad the crew is ok and hopefully a quick recovery for the medic.
