LET 410 vs Helicopter (Manang) collision at Lukla
 

Just posted on the Tenzing Hillary Airport Facebook site. Nothing posted about casualties.

(Or maybe it is a Dornier.)

Looks like a LET 410 Summit Air 9N-AMH

Reported on Wikipedia and elsewhere as a Summit Air Let 410 and impacting two helicopters of Manang Air and Shree Air.

Really good thing there was no fire! hose hand held fire instiginsher would not have stopped anything

other footages show: the airplane wing grabbed the heli just below the rotor head at the MGB and flipped it over with a lot of energy

Really weird accident.
To me from the outside without knowing the aircraft I would think of a right engine failure, a locked brake, front wheel steering failure or a rudder failure.
I don't know the LET's systems.
Luckily no pax on board.
Rip to all people involved.

...for those interested:
Accident: Summit L410 at Lukla on Apr 14th 2019, runway excursion on takeoff and collision with two helicopters

"probable cause of the accident was aircraft's veering towards right during initial take-off roll as a result of asymmetric power due to abrupt shifting of right power lever rearwards"
:rolleyes: nuff sed ?
