Re: Helicopter Crashes onto Hospital Helipad in Grand Rapids, Mi
Very unfortunate,
Leads in well to the discussion we're having on fuel cells in the Vertical Mag forum.....
The jist of that conversation being the absolute insanity that we're still flying around in 2008 without crash worth fuel tanks. Fire is a major player in many accidents, the most recent here in Canada being the incident in NWT last week.
When will the FAA and TC get off their collective asses and mandate self sealing, or crash proof tanks?
