Paradise Helicopters 407 crash  

Not that I should be surprised but the drivel here has sunk to a new low.  I attended the presentation at Expo this year about the accident and to say Tim was humble and presented the event well would be an understatement.  He makes no claims about being a hero and in fact just states he can't really remember what happened.  Was it a miracle, absolutetly, but should we ignore it then.  As the NTSB also presented during the event no we should not.  There have been multiple (3) instances of broken bolts on other 407 airframes across the world.

I would suggest instead of being a jackass maybe pay attention to the whole story.  I know my takeaway was that if I was a 407 pilot (I'm not) that I would be insisting on repetative inspection of the suspect bolt.  

I've said for years and years we don't ever find "new" ways to die in helicopters.  The stupidity of most of the posters on this thread explains all I need to know about why that is.  Instead of being curious about the machines we fly and learning through a career most pilots would rather spend their time protecting and growing their precious ego.

Idiots
