Mike Reyno Posted November 30, 2003 Report Posted November 30, 2003 Here is another one just videoed a few days ago of a news chopper. http://turnto10.feedroom.com/iframeset.jsp?ord=170406 There's a quick snap-shot that looks like the TR is stopped. Quote

bandaid Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Wow, that was great. I was thinking at first that it was 407 driver but I know by personal experience that he can't go backwards without hitting something Quote
CTD Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 The spinning 206 looks like it could have been LTE - the guy was wobbly in yaw as he passes over, and the aircraft yawed left just prior to the event. Also, it looks like the t/r is still spinning in the second turn. Ouch. Quote
bandaid Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Sorry 407 driver, that was nasty. Quote
CTD Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Clarification on the Seal Lake accident - the people hooked the lanyard up to the belly hook, but it was draped over the skid - not tied to the skid as may have been inferred. Quote
RDM Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 CTD, may I clarify your clarification I believe that is what the accident report stated "hooked to the belly". Altough for myself and several others who were on scene from a point shortly after splashdown to the delivery of the parts and peices back to the barn this could never be determined. Some questions went unanswered, where did the right hand skid tube disappear too? where did the sling gear (20 to 30 feet of nylon rope) disappear to? there was nothing attached to the hook the following morning, (never had a opportunity the night before to have a look). the people in the camp became very quite about "who did what" what was hooked where. the pilot could not remember if it got attached to the hook or the skid. In all fairness to the pilot, he sustained a pretty good rap to the melon and remembered very little about anything immediately prior to the upset, and the locals on scene were scared sh!tless and protecting themselves. Although they were credited with saving his life as they cut him from his restraints from the inverted submerged aircraft. Quote
