twinstar_ca 185 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 hope all recover ok... hard to tell from the pic what kind of machine... jet fuel all over would lead one to believe a turbine but hey, we know how accurate the press can be... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whirlybird 4 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 The way it is spinning in the video it could be LTE or short shaft failure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GrayHorizons 141 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 when i heard about it yesterday about an hour and a half after the accident, the guys i was with were getting info there was some really nasty sounds happening. I dont have any 212 experience myself, but years back Canadian had one go through a tail rotor output quill failure with similar results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
