R22 Down Out West!

[Hueylover]

I saw it on the news last night. I think Vancouver. Looked blue and white, no name but an R22 for sure.

 

Reporter said all 4 ( :shock: ) people got out alive!

 

Anyone out west hear anything?

[Mark_]

Well if there were 4 [people in a 22 that would explain why it didn't fly so well wouldn't it?

[volition]

Ugh! I would have to agree with Mark on this one!! :shock:

[412driver]

that accurate reporting again

[deuce]

It was an R22...so just two people,not injured. Privately owned. It was on its side which means it had some point been airborne,word is they hadn't talked to the harbour tower (they were well within the zone) so somebody will have a little splaining to do.
