    3. Please this isn't enough, they should tell the real truth, the helicopter wasn't air worthy. And investigation should be carried out to know the cause of the crash and prevent future occurrence.

  22. Really, is this the picture of the Bristow helicopter that crashed yesterday?
    This isn't it, this picture I see here, is a crash that happened in port harcourt some years ago not in Lagos.
    This is a super puma helicopter, and everyone in that crash in port harcourt survived.
    Please let's not post wrong information about this crash.

  28. @ Alloy Chikezie. You should be careful what you say. Helicopter mishaps happen in even the most developed of countries. Where are you getting your information?? I work offshore and have flown to work in Bristow helicopters twice a month for the last five years. That chopper cost Bristow at least $12m to purchase and a return flight to an offshore location may cost as much as $10,000 in revenue. Do you really think they would risk having the helicopter destroyed?? These machines may do up to 6 round trips in a day and I can tell you that every single time the choppers land in town, they are thoroughly checked by engineers. Also, the oil industry takes safety issues very seriously and a personnel injured at work is such a big deal talk less of a life lost. You should also know that the pilots have a right to refuse to fly if they think the chopper isn't in order. I'v personally seen that happen. If complacency is involved, it's definitely not in the order you are portraying. There were two chopper crashes last year in the north sea(UK oil industry) with newer, more expensive, bigger air crafts involved, does that mean those air crafts were not air worthy?
