stock here: This was no accident, it was a hit on an energy industry CEO. It was kind of like an abuse ritual. They lost their main rotor and attached portion of transmission, and the tail rotor and a portion of the tail, almost at the same time.
They love to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. This also makes Trump and Musk / DOGE look bad for firing FAA people. I get why they fired all the “probationary” people, as these were all hires under Biden Entity, and without a doubt were all vetted to be lefties / authoritarians who will follow the Democrat orders.
That being said, this helo had 15,000 hours of flight time. To put that in perspective, I have a work truck with 159,000 miles on it. If those were at 30 MPH, that would be 5416 run hours. The helo, was 3 times more.
