Skidz Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Doesn't say the type...R44? http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/20...pter-crash.html Yes, it's an R44 (C-GDSF). Drove by the scene on my way to work this morning. The pilot walked away, while the reporter, sitting in the left rear seat was trapped. It took firefighters over an hour to get him out. The pilot declared an emergency with Montreal-Trudeau tower due to "mechanical problems". He performed a forced landing between the Bonaventure highway and Mel's Studios. Not a nice place to land. Lot's of wires and uneven ground. Machine rolled on landing. Completely destroyed. Good thing is, nobody died. :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidz Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Pilot has a broken back (being operated today) and reporter has multiple fractures to his pelvis, but won't need surgery. From the injuries and wreckage, looks like they came down hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 It looks like he was trying to get to 'Mel's' pad, ran out of everything, and had to splash it into the gulley. Not the best, nor the worst, result - the perils of city flying, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
