Very cool video!

Welcome to Hong Kong...for all those who thought it was just high-rise!

Wow! Fascinating! :)

(No, I mean the video; I know it's not all high-rise).

Great video, don't they work quickly in HK? Blue skies and no monkeys too.:D

What a really great video, my compliments to the producer!

I'm now imagining the Puma sitting on a trailer, pointed down a rather narrow road, toward GFS. Perhaps they'll get it to a barge to make the transport easier. I wish them an easy go of it...

Yes, it was their day off (FTL).

I saw on the news that the heli was on a low loader and back in the hangar that evening. Good job by all involved :ok:

Preliminary report here:

http://www.cad.gov.hk/reports/B-HRN%...2-2011_eng.pdf


The combined voice and flight data recorder (CVFDR) was undamaged and removed from the helicopter safely. The data in the CVFDR was later retrieved with the assistance of Eurocopter and an initial analysis of the data was conducted. It revealed that the helicopter had experienced a power turbine overspeed on No. 2 engine, and the overspeed caused an automatic shutdown of the engine. The reason of the overspeed is under investigation.
