Not good news at all!! i just hope some people survive and my thoughts are with their families.
Surely its time something is done about safety as this is the second incident by bond helicopters in a matter of months.

My friends girlfriend works for a flight company and she says half of the staff of gone who go into checking over the planes since the credit crunch

it does seem a bit strange as they have been a few more planes crash lately so i don't know if this could be related if there cut back on the safety checks of the things

if this is the case the company should be heavily fined because basically they have killed 16 people

People who already work offshore will agree with me that at the best of times flying is a scary thing but when stuff like this happens it just makes you think is it worth it and tbh if things like this keep popping up il have to reconsider my career.
Theres gonna be wives and kids sitting at home tonight in bits because of todays events and i wouldnt want my family to be in that situation!!! its just fubar
