Instant Shark food , port Harcourt waters isn't for the soft

If helicopter is the only means of transportation to get to a location, I'll forfeit it.

OMG

Kobicove:
What then is the benefit of the Helicopter Underwater(HUW) training drill that they go through if not a single person survived?

It is useful if it is a controlled ditch.

NothingDoMe:
Sad news.

The S76 is a twin engine aircraft that should be able to execute safe landing in water if one engine fails. There's also the autorotation trick they teach pilots if both engines fail.

May their souls rest in peace.

May heaven continue to bless Captain Bimbo Ajakaiye, wherever she is. She saved our lives that year using one of those tricks when she lost her two engines.

It is tragic, that air crash is coming back.
May the soul of the departed, Rest in peace. Not a nice way to go out.

Dear Lord the fact I was in that aircraft Last Saturday with cpt Dukas at the air force base terrified me right now,so unusual of me to take pictures after flight but something just made me did What a life.

The helicopter submerged into the Atlantic Ocean meanwhile the mugu of a moderator showed a picture of a crash on land. When I say you mongrels no go school, una go dey vex because na true.

The dead have no say in any matter. We can only wish them the best.

This chopper in question was a six seater chopper and more of chartered chopper and not a commercial chopper. The minister needs to provide further information on why an executive chopper is used to convey offshore worker particularly NNPC offshore fields. Who approved that chopper? The likes of Bristow and Caverton helicopters are there but no, they won't use them. Now they have killed innocent young Nigerians due to their greed. God dey!

. the aircraft was modified for executive used, originally it was meant to carry 10 ,so i don't think your assumptions were right the accident should be investigate first before conclusion

In reality, you may not remember the procedures under shock.

Sad!

May their souls rest in peace.

Hazard of the career.

Yet we keep on.

May their soul rest in peace
Condolences

You sound like aerospace engineer. Are you one

No. I've flown in helicopters for a while and picked up a few things.

These helicopters in ph don't rest. I have always felt that disaster was looming. You see them always in the aIr. Even in very severe weather. Well may condolences to the families

Pootle:
oil workers very lucrative job but dangerous as hell, once you do 3 to 4 contract best na to find your way

My brother it's not always easy, our heart goes to all that were involved in this tragic incident. May Jehovah God comfort and console the families left behind.

ednut1:
how will they access the oil platforms in the middle of the ocean Using boat is slow and risky due to piracy.

I once went for a stock count on an oil platform off akwa ibom coast with helicopter. I was scared make i no lie 🥲

make una connect us for this kind work na... Choi..

okito:
6 spanners down! May the brave souls of the departed rest in perfect peace.

That's why I tell people that the risk associated with offshore E & P outweighs the pay. I begged to be moved back to the Lagos office after years of offshore work. The transportation and operational risks are too much. If chopper doesn't crash, the well may blow out..too much risk mehn but it's a rare privilege to have the experience still.

bro I don't mind, I need that kind of work... Life is all about risk

HUET

I get this chopper phobia every time I'm going back to work....

From Chevron Warri to Agbami FPSO is an hour flight..... But it always seem like a day journey....

From Agbami to Lagos is two hours....

At least Bristow helicopters are keeping safety standard....

Even the brace situation becomes useless in situations like this because you tend to forget the training in emergency situation like this...

Aswear Na everyday flight..... The chopper flies to and fro twice a day sometimes....

Ok. Thanks for the insight.

You can imagine how much has been spent after they died. Thats the case of any Nigerian life.

Nobody sef wan carry blame. Ministry say emergency say, that safety say.

What's the fate of their families?

Forget many drama. And see to the better lives of their families. If FG cares ooh

I hate helicopters with passion. I do not get why people enjoy riding them. Even the military ones are not entirely safe. I get the vertical takeoff and landing are convenient and that one could land on a helipad, but dang it. If anything happens to the blade in the air, it is done...the aerodynamics of a helicopter are too fragile. It's for a similar reason I would avoid a single-engine plane... a small failure; it is SOS. May their souls rest in peace.

With the recent helicopter crashes both home and abroad, I think it's safe to say it's not the safest means of transportation and people should avoid it if they have options...

•Kobe Bryant - Helicopter crash- USA
•Herbert Wigwe- Helicopter crash- USA
•Patrick Yakowa (former Kaduna Gov)- Helicopter crash- Nigeria
•Nigeria Air Force Helicopter Crash

Now this... 😞

Don’t forget Russian Yevgney Prigozhin

The Helicopter that crashes lake mentance

My brother i confirmed they fly 6 times a day. To and fro

With all the expensive bosiet and huet safety training enrolled for these oil workers, no result to prove it usefulnes.

May God comfort the families of the deceased 🙏

Gabrielshow24:


You can't say that. circumstances could be different, they could have died on impact.

Unless die to high blood pressure from sudden fear and anxiety, nobody is suppose to die when an helicopter hits the water.. Hitting the water is that safest option for the pilot
