just heard on skynews they've found a 6th body and more updates later.

i feel really sorry for their familys because its just after christmas

Oh god have they?

I felt bad for the families too - because they work on oil rigs chances are they weren't home for christmas anyway and now their families wont see them again

Actually sky are lying, it should be the 7th one

They were going home for new year too

OMG, had anyone got details of this - my bosses travel by helicopter all the time, I feel sick!

Was it a private heli or a charter?

I,m actually an aircraft Appraiser and look at helicpters like the one that crashed (AS 365N). People get the impression that they are unsafe but that's not really the case - they're constructed of many hundreds of components which are replaced/overhauled at regular intervals. In this respect they're actually more safe than fixed wing aircraft.

I was at Chepstow for the Welsh National this week and watched the rich & famous fly in - awesome!
