Wtf! What for? It’s way to late now

Cuz that’s what I would have told him for everyone on that helicopter.

If he simply had said to anyone why he was just circling and the pilot would have told the passengers that he can’t see I’m sure anyone on that helicopter would have said put this helicopter down right now.

Passengers didn’t have a chance nor I’m sure did they know what was going on until he tried to turn to avoid it at the last minute.

Arrogance got people killed. Experience tells you it is what it is. “Put the helicopter back down on the ground.”

He was going a 140 mph plus and didn’t have a clue he was flying everyone into a mountain until the last minute when it was to late to climb. When he was just circling around low he knew he couldn’t see. He should have parked the helicopter somewhere safe on the ground then.

If I can’t see when I’m driving cuz of fog as truck driver is which I am one I get off the road. If you can’t see and you flying a helicopter you don’t go up especially without a alert system to let you know about avoiding terrain.

It shouldn't have happened. This action never causes that they come back to life.

... Island Express is bankrupt by now, tbh...
