Mecca is the name of a town in California. Just outside 29 Palms.

“IF I had my way, every one of these big helos would be equipped with a huge air bag that would cushion the fall if the power fails and the helo heads earthward.”

A system like that would be too heavy.

Besides, the Chinook is literally a flying gas tank and will go KABOOM even with such a system.

“Of course the Chinook, and other twin rotor helicopters, such as the CH-46 Sea Knight, can have midair collisions with themselves.”

Yeah, the rotors pass through the same airspace, and if the synchronization is off then the pilots are going to need more than a clean pair of underwear.
