If the tail rotor stops you are pretty much ****ed.
I wonder .. perhaps more helicopters could use the two contra rotating main blades system? It more stable as the "torque" evens out. It's what they use in many cheap kids RC helicopters. The russians make them but can't think of many/any western manufactures that do. |

Has anyone ever been in a Helicopter ?
it's always been a phobia of mine, just seems, feels and looks less safe than planes. |

One witness said it appeared "the tail propeller wasn't working, putting it into a spin"
He told 5 Live: "Literally the engine stopped and I turned around, and it made a bit of a whirring noise. "It turned silent, blades started spinning and then there was a big bang." He said when he ran to the scene "there was a huge fireball" and it looked like the helicopter had crashed in an industrial park next to the stadium. |

I have. I can't remember being scared the thing but you maybe don't realise is just how ****ing LOUD they are even inside.
Not sure if some can be made quiet like for fancy millionaires, even as a back seat passenger I was given protective ear defenders. |

I have a couple of times. Never really thought anything of any risk involved at the time.

Went on one to the Grand Canyon, think I may have been p1ssed when I booked it though

Sky Sports are reporting that Leicester City vice-chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha was also NOT on board the helicopter.
They earlier said Jon Rudkin, the Director of Football at Leicester City was also NOT on board. |

Appears the sky news statement has been withdrawn....

I have always considered them to be very dangerous machines.
It is very sad for the families concerned. |

Went to Royal Ascot on a friends helicopter a couple of years ago with him and he's dad, only took 40 mins instead of 2 hours .
it was noisy and never felt as safe as when on a jumbo jet |
|
By:
A very sad story, like Joel I've only been in a chopper once and that was to land in the Grand Canyon. It was OK but not really exhilarating in any way.

statistically safer then a car i dare say and quicker .... yet i would never feel that safe in one (never been in one as i don't tend to move in those circles - a beaten up car for me is my transport )
|

By:
those stats mean nothing coachbuster, figures inflated highly because of young teen drivers, car fatalities are the worlds number 1 casue of deaths for teenagers.
If a helicopter crashes it's highly likely you're dead, if your car crashes you're more likely to survive without the car bursting into flames. |

Considered safe enough for both the Princes to get jobs flying in them?
|

By:
US pres regularly flys in one?
|
|
By:
they're are safe in the sense they've passed all the safety checks, but when it comes to malfunctioning or any incident, would you rather be in a car or Helicopter.

i always say in a car too SH, that you have a certain amount of control over your destiny ...or in other words ...thinking ahead and anticipating a hazard .
i'm amazed folk don't have more car accidents |

Control

This accident seems mysterious to me. Why no news of any hospital, details of how any survivors are, who actually died?
|
|
By:
The BBC understands two crew members and three passengers were on board.

are the bbc blaming trump or brexit yet

Get yourself on youtube for conspiracy theories
One thinks its a remote controlled helicopter toy that's been crashed on purpose with no one inside it |
|
By:
Where's Terry? He'd normally be all over this telling us the helicopter (containing someone who knew the truth about 9/11) was brought down on orders of the illuminutty by a combination of chemtrails and G5 death rays :)

The owner of Leicester City FC died when his helicopter crashed outside the stadium, the club has confirmed.
Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, two members of his staff, the pilot and a female passenger died when the aircraft crashed at about 20:30 BST on Saturday. Thousands of bouquets and scarves have already been left outside the ground. In a statement, Leicester City FC said the club's thoughts were with "the Srivaddhanaprabha family and the families of all those on-board at this time of unspeakable loss" The club added: "In Khun Vichai, the world has lost a great man. A man of kindness, of generosity and a man whose life was defined by the love he devoted to his family and those he so successfully led. "Leicester City was a family under his leadership. It is as a family that we will grieve his passing and maintain the pursuit of a vision for the Ccub that is now his legacy." |

Matthew Harding, Colin Mcrae are two that spring to mind in the sports world. And Frankie and Richard Cochrane were lucky to survive.
Horrible things. |
|
By:
Ray Cochrane was also fortunate think Frankies' paid him back for saving his life in earning percentages over the years.
