Results Of Inquest Into Grand Canyon Helicopter Crash And Deaths Of British Tourists Announced

British coroner report is out this month as part of litigation proceedings over there and complements the Jan NTSB report.  Has anyone here changed the way you do things since this very tragic accident? Have an opinion? (les history repeat itself)

------------None of the five victims suffered any trauma in the initial impact, but died of thermal injuries and smoke inhalation after the helicopter caught fire 'within a matter of seconds'.------------
