If I'm reading this right, the new crane delivered by Erickson to Italy's Forrestale (the one that I saw at HAI in Feb.) crashed shortly after being offloaded from an Antonov transport. Of the 4 crewmembers, injuries were 1 fatal (a Canadian), 2 serious and one light. Is that it ?

 

Condolences to family, friends and colleagues...

Fiumicino: precipita elicottero, un morto

Un tecnico canadese della Eriksson ha perso la vita. Gli altri membri dell'equipaggio, compreso il pilota, sono rimasti feriti: due in condizioni gravi, uno in maniera lieve. Il Sikorsky S 64 è precipitato subito dopo il decollo. Nell'aeroporto arrivi e partenze sono regolari

 

Roma, 6 luglio 2005 - Un elicottero del Corpo forestale dello Stato è precipitato subito dopo essersi alzato in volo all'aeroporto di Fiumicino Nell'incidente è morto un tecnico canadese della Eriksson, Martiy Erikson, 49 anni, mentre gli altri membri dell'equipaggio, compreso il pilota della Forestale,

Floriano Finamoresono, sono rimasti feriti: due in condizioni gravi, l'ultimo in maniera lieve.

 

L'elicottero, un Sikorsky S 64, era decollato dall'area denominata Wisky, una piazzola remota, lontano dalle piste dei voli civili. Dunque arrivi e partenze all'aeroporto di Fiumicino sono regolari. Il mezzo inoltre, non era operativo. I pezzi del velivolo erano giunti da poco dagli Stati Uniti e assemblati in Italia e doveva essere trasportato da Fiumicino a Ciampino per essere ricoverato nell'hangar del Corpo Forestale dello Stato.

 

Intanto l'Agenzia nazionale per la sicurezza del volo, Ansv, appena appresa la notizia ha inviato sul posto un proprio investigatore. "Anche se si sta valutando la natura giuridica dell'aeromobile - afferma l'Ansv in una nota - l'Agenzia nazionale sicurezza al volo metterà a disposizione degli inquirenti il proprio potenziale tecnico e i propri laboratori per appurare le cause tecniche dell'incidente".

 

Oltre all'inchiesta tecnica aperta dall'Ansv anche la magistratura e il corpo forestale hanno avviato accertamenti. ''E' già in corso un'inchiesta della magistratura e in fase d'avvio un'indagine interna della forestale per risalire alle cause dell'incidente''. Lo ha comunicato il capo del Corpo Forestale, Cesare Patrone, che dopo aver appreso la notizia dell'incidente si è recato sul luogo della sciagura. Patrone, che si è detto profondamente commosso per l'accaduto, ha espresso la sua solidarietà ai feriti e alle loro famiglie.
