HeliGridGuy Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Tragic Wire accident……………………………………………………………………………………………. Link to EC135P2 crash in Norway http://www.verticalmag.com/news/article/26311 Video of wire contact http://www.vgtv.no/#!/video/76588/tonje-filmet-at-helikopteret-traff-hoeyspentledningen More dramatic footage http://www.vgtv.no/#!/video/76599/filmet-den-tragiske-ulykken Serious wreckage http://www.vgtv.no/#!/video/76593/se-video-fra-ulykkesstedet-der-et-helikopter-styrtet You can see the electrical contact what appears to happen twice very quickly and also a significant puff of smoke from one engine, possibly a drive train overload due to sudden stoppage or significant missalignment of drive train/engine and the engine let go………… Unfortunately it is excellent footage of a serious fatal wire accident.
