I beg to differ sir, medical certificates as well as BOSIET ones which includes the HUET are checked before any trip offshore at the bristow terminal. I will advise you refrain from what you know nothing about. The victims are my colleagues and even now i still pray and hope the news is not true

A helicopter belonging to Bristow Helicopters crashed into the lagoon near the Oworonshoki end of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos.


The National Emergency Management Agency and the Nigerian Police carried out rescue operations and it was learnt that 3 out of the 12 people onboard died in the lagoon helicopter crash, while the other 9 were taken to the nearby Gbagada General Hospital.


An eyewitness spoke to www.metronaija.com, the aircraft marked 5NBGD was said to be coming from one of the oil rigs in Escravos area of the Niger Delta and was said to be heading for Lagos Island when it went down around 3 p.m.

Rip to the dead.

Those oil workers must have undergone survival at sea and also helicopter under water excape training (SAS and HUET). The oil company should be held responsible for not giving their workers the minimum required training before sending the offshore.

Also the helicopter company RT brisco will also pay for not checking for the HUET passes of all passengers and also not providing them with life jackets.

Hmmm Oil workers from Escravos. Na Chevron workers be that o.

That moment when u have spent abt 1month at an Oil field. Away from ur children ur wife, friends & co. U have already planned how u give ur wife or galfriend a treat in d bedroom & stuffs like that u know....As u are busy fantasicing hoping to land in 5mins, so all of a sudden d pilot shouts "mayday-mayday, adopt d brace position and get ready for impact!" and




seconds later.......Hmmm.

Trust me I know how things like these play out. I narrowly escaped one offshore of Escravos in
2007. The first things that came my mind at dat dying moment were my mom and d money I Had in my account.

Oboy u no well at all u need medical check up

RIP departed fellows.

Fresh38:




Yes, I agree with you. It's obvious all the necessary checks weren't in place. Another tragic aftermath of the rot in the Nigerian system. I'm sure if they all had life jackets, they would have jumped into the ocean and probably would have been alive. May their souls RIP. I pray those in the hospital survive as well.

You really had to post photos of the dead?! What's wrong with you people?

Am currently at NAF Base PH, am supposed to return back to work this morning but all flights have been cancelled out of respect for the victims..... Even me sef dey scared...

dabriggs:


They do. But the POB depends on the type of helicopter. If it is a Sirkosky S-92 it takes about 20 people comfortably.

And all passengers and their bags are weighed before we leave offshore or land. So I doubt if overweight was the issue.

For it to have come from Escravos near warri thus far before the crash, it might have had a fault that was probably considered as minor and was managed back to Lagos.

As the chopper flies, there is the co-pilot who monitors and logs in all the data fed by sensors of the chopper. This is done until the chopper lands. The choppers are constantly being monitored as they are in flight. So it is either there was a sudden fault, or there was a known fault which they wanted to manage, or there was a fault that could not be identified due to failure from a sensor.

Bros, back off really nicely or else...

So where do you expect me to put my opinion?

Demmocrats:
Even the helicopters pilot needs to be given a medal of honour if he survived for saving nine lives out of 12. Baba God really worked his miracles

jpphilips:


Helicopter crashing inside the lagoon is not really a high risk, I still dont understand why people died, perhaps they were neither HUET nor BOSIET trained.

sirhamilton:


bros you don kill English language. which wan be droved ? yoruba people sha!

subnormal:


Could you guys just back off? I know these guys, the least among them had 10 yrs offshore experience and they are up to date with their BOSIET. Besides, the company they work for would not even let you step foot offshore if you have not been trained or if your cert is expired.

Bristow not Bristol. Again its amazing that an organization like Bristow will encounter issues like this when their aviation practice is one of the best in the country. very sad, Rip to the dead. Rip Rip, so sad
