Linky for those with access
If true it points to a serious mechanical failure in the gearbox or rotor mechanism. A chopper can land safely even when the engine stops so long as it's high enough (>500 ft) |
Autorotation? I was wondering about that. It looks like this all came upon the crew very suddenly.
Thinking and praying for everyone involved.
