  • Nobody died in this mishap. I was involved in the investigation and miraculously everyone got out safely. there was a mechanical failure in the structure that supported the driveshaft where it disconnects when the tail pylon is folded for ship board operation. That structural failure allowed the disconnect to go out of alignment and cause a failure of the disconnect. Nobodies fault just old equipment.

  • you get a thumbs down for calling a destroyer a aircraft carrier

  • @TheAdmiralPancake

    Yes ultimately the blame was place with the Depot Level Overhaul of the helo that was done a decade prior to the mishap. Field level maintainers do not have the Jigs and tools necessary to check the alignment of the frame sections back there.

  • @Whiskerfish1

    Isn't it the fault of the person who's supposed to check the old equipment?

  • also sensual girl here just for you baby

  • well the pilot must be a complete dick.

  • by the way not an aircraft carrier it is a fantail of either a destroyer or a friggit
