Shut up say wut  

Yes I really do think an aircraft that was poorly maintained with less than 10,000 hrs could indeed rip it's own roof off what with such a light load.........especially if there's a complete crack going all the way across the box beam with only one inch of metal left to break.

I promise you that thing probably had some corrosion because it's a well known fact it was first flying around in the GOM for the first half of it's life from 2004 to 2016.  Where I know for a fact it was getting all the TLC it needed, because I probably worked on it.

Then it was sold to Meridian and they leased it out to NYC helis for tours.  You think it got looked at since 2016?  Did it go thru refurb? Highly doubt it.

I used to watch our Chalk buckets get scheduled in for refurb every 10 years where they got tore down to the skeleton to be inspected for cracks.....just like this one probably had.

You guys have absolutely no fkin clue the type of work I've seen done to these things.  Because if you did, you'd never fly in them again.
