One of the pilots was a very close friend!!
i remember the shine in his eyes when he was getting some briefing about ISSB from me before he joined the Army, never knew this is how it would end.
My dear God, rest in peace my dear, rest in peace.
Very tragic ...God bless all who were onboard. Amen.
Does anyone know the names of the flight crew ?

I guess the following questions are still unanswered:Interesting, so we'll be getting more of these helis from the Americans..?
How about reliable and top quality products instead of piece of sh!t
I guess the following questions are still unanswered:
a. Chopper was overloaded (as many as 41 claimed perished)
b. Technical problem(s)
c. Hostile fire
I would not say the choppers being operated are piece of sh!t until we get answer to the above questions.
Well overloading is a possibility. Choppers can lift more but than they don’t fly high and fast. It has been speculated that the choppers was overloaded and flying low, hence it came in the effective range of enemy fire. Who knows, there could be one or multiple reasons behind this fateful incident.I don't think its maintenance issue or overloading. Pilots knows well what he is carrying and how many he is carrying . That must be fire from ground. Otherwise later day, won't be air raid at the same spot.

I am sorry to say - it is the captains responsibility for this mistake. no talk of 'pressure' can absolve them of this fatal mistake.Pilots are forced into overloading by aggressive officers
