PA Helicopter crashes near Lasbela - Passenger list includes senior officers leading flood relief effort

[TaimiKhan]

According to PAF AVM Abid Rao, the helicopter was on a short flight hence wouldn't have been flying high....less than 7000 feet, also no distress call was given....so possible it made an emergency landing in an isolated place.

Windy bro, in how many heli crashes may day calls are given ??? Heli crashes are abrupt and violent especially if the tail rotor fails. Pilots try to save the aircraft and dont get time to send mayday calls.

For a heli a crash from a 1000ft is even deadly. 7k height is too much to fall from.

Not possible

A vast Vaccum has been left in Balochistan and all over the country such experienced men gone in a flash an investigation should be launched into why so many high-ranking officials were jammed into such a tiny bird that too in terrible weather conditions the morale will certainly be down across the armed forces.

Why is it the army only learns basic lessons after major tragedies? the losses which have been incurred today will leave behind voids for years to come. sad sad sad the heart aches.

Cursed Land.
