1608 : Video Shows 3 Flashes Of Light In Chopper Cockpit Before Tragic Accident.

strang but as snakefix and checksix said wait till we have the official version of the investigation

Quote:


Why on Earth would pilot error (which it clearly looks like) play any role on the program as a whole?? It wouldn't. Just like the one F-22 crash they've had in the program didn't cause any delay to the program.

Well, from the other footages I saw it looks like too fast, too low.. Hope it won't give too big a blow to a helicopter programme which only recently started active duty..

Quote:


The pilot of the display is one of the two survived, the pilot died in the accident apparently play a role of copilot, and I have notice that today it was interrogated for the first time about the accident, but obviously nothing is public about this interrogatory.
I don't know the time necessary for the conclusion of the two official investigation.

Does anybody have news about the accident ?

NH-90 is fitted with fly-by-wire , so I assume many datas are recorded .
I don't know that much about helicos , and even less about the computers inside the latest ones.

So, if somebody is skilled and have news ...

Can you explain your comment here because as it stands, and I may be reading it wrong, it looks like you actually have no idea what your talking about.

So because thousands of people die every day it's ok to give a comment like you did? I didn't tell anything about you should pray for all of them so don't try to twist my words, if that's your way of defending yourself in this situation ok, then it just seems to me you aren't very good in expressing yourself in an adult way.

The only thing I said (and meant) was you didn't seem very respectful for a human life, and your second comment just seems to confirm my opinion.

Enough said about this, I think it's a very tragic accident and indeed snakefx, I also don't understand why the media has to focus on that flash while the results of the investigation aren't made officiel yet (I think, somebody pls correct me if i'm wrong).

I think no comment for this reply

How many of you know how helicopters guidance works? it is really vulnerable system...ask me I know
I have allways thought that choppers suck!!!!

But most people doesn't enjoy seeing them die as much as You do?!
Maybe You should re-read your post and think for a second or two, that response is really bad taste. Do You yell out after a tv-report from starving people in Africa: "Ohhh mann.. Why do they shut off the camera when the best part is on?!"
It would be about the same thing as Your comment about the crash.

Rest In Peace Filippo Fornassi!

Relax. Thousands of people die every day. Am I wrong, or should I pray for all of them?

Unfortunately I was there, Sunday, watching the airshow. The flashing is only reflection of the sun on the trasparent of the cockpit. The video is darker than the real weather of that day. I don't understand because media have invented or mistook this flash for another thing. Really stupid, like some comments below, remember that a very good pilot of Italian Army is dead in this tragedy. Other two members of the crew are almost unhurt, fortunately. I think is better to wait the result of the two official investigation, but personally it seems to arrive to low and to fast at the end of the manouver (that very often is the cause of an accident on an airshow). In 18 years of airshow that I have seen, nothing is happened, and I hope this is the first and last time that I see something like this :(((

After watching the other videos, they all show glare off the various windows and windshield. Nothing else. No bombs...flashbangs...ect...

Yes it is cloudy in the background, but we never see what the cloud over is behind the camera. And the glare you see always occurs on the the side of the aircraft facing the camera, so I'm guessing that the sun is indeed visible either above or behind the spot the video was shot from.

I think that not was a reflection of the weather, this day the sky was grey, the sun was oculted; what was the explication of the accident for the expert?

On this movie, we can same "flashes" .
it seems to be just the sun reflection .

http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=20373 other videos avaliable.

At least the people on the boats were not injured. What a pilot and his equipment does is one thing, bothering the people on the ground with it is just not apropriate.
And even if there were flashbangs going off 3 times in a row, what will it change?

Aliens can fly around the damm thing in a matter of seconds, while being invisible, no need for flashes :P

Aliens man ,Aliens

Talk about bad taste! :/

Thats what i thought,a combination of water and glass reflection.

Reflection off the glass...

Best part?? A person died at that moment... How can you call such a moment 'the best part'?

RIP Filippo

Ohhh mann.. Why does camera going down when the best part is on?!

F**k !
Stupid stuff :-(
I think it s the 1st crash of a NH90, exact?

It should say 1/6/08 in the title,it looks like 16/08
