Stephen1547 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 TWO SURVIVE HELICOPTER CRASH Sounds like everyone is alive, which is good. From the looks of it, it's Great Lakes Helicopters' C-GQGL. Best wishes to those injured, and I hope everyone makes a full recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidz Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I'm amazed they survived, with the extent of damage to the Robbie... When something like this happens it kind of puts a whole new perspective on the risks we ake every day on the job. Godspeed and quick recovery to the crew...

Winnie Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I am saddened to see this, and hope all is well with Chris and Nick and all the others (Have not a first clue on who was flying, but these are the two I know), I also hope that the injured will make a quick recovery!

TwistedSpar Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 funny how the story changes drastically. I initially read that the helicopter was there giving free rides to people..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowhirly Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Looks pretty bad hopefully this doesn't slow down the training. http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_21878.aspx Hopefully They make a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldywings Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 "What they were probably doing was practicing what's called auto rotation," offered Flight Training Services Phyl Durdey. "What it is is basically a controlled crash." http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_21878.aspx I think it is a little early to be making claims like that. I also think that describing any training situation as being "basically a controlled crash" to the general public is misleading and wrong. :down: Speedy recovery to those involved!

Over-Talk Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 "What they were probably doing was practicing what's called auto rotation," offered Flight Training Services Phyl Durdey. "What it is is basically a controlled crash." Here is a classic case of a comment based on speculation, i.e. "they were probably doing", followed by complete misinformation (from a fixed-wing instructor).......i.e. "basically a controlled crash". Hey Phyl......I think your reputation just had an uncontrolled crash following a brain failure. (Though that is only speculation!!) Next time the media calls, maybe you should decline comment so that you don't look like such an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
