There were more than five on board. I pray they make it.

I never liked flying in helicopters, and I love to fly!

Low to the ground, constant torque on the airframe, everything spinning in circles, massive and constant vibration, mechanically complex = trouble.

Things that take off and land vertical tend to fall from the sky more frequently than their fixed wing counterparts.

10,000 moving parts flying in close formation.

Prayers for the families of the lost.
Prayers for the surviviors
