I suppose it’s like if David Beckham got killed over here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I mean it would be irresponsible to fly in fog, but I doubt it would cause a helicopter to fall out of the sky. That I am not aware off and I'm sure once investigations start etc they can determine engine fault or whatever.  However as it was foggy, they were flying over hills, it is also very likely due to the dense fog, the pilot failed to navigate around the hills and unfortunately flew straight in to one. This is what earlier reports are suggesting and the reason why it was in flames as it came down.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
