liar....u are a blogger pretending to be military man.not knowing if the rank is true or false as a 'military man' technically prove that u are fake...u used that excuse to dodge the fact that the news is fake...

secondly,the tail blade won't even chop off the head only but 70 percent of the body.

thirdly,how did the officer get to the tail blade side when the chopper is taking off?


u tried to use tail blade to divert the attention of those questioning the probability of over head blade chopping the head off
I am not saying this to impress you bro......

How I which this platform will enable me to send live location.

Note: they were not taking off ok. They just arrived and as the custome is the co pilot will have to go down to offload luggage, In a bid to do that, that was when this happend. Mind you in a war zone military chopper do not stop.....note this.

This happened in my presence though I was far from the scene. Blogger what..? I am saying this for all to honour the dead and not allow his effort for the country to be in vain.... if you need more proof PM me let me do a video call in the scene for you and snap more than enogh pics.

OP do you know what an Air Chief Marshal is? You're talking 4-Star General here.
The only person currently holding the equivalent of the Air Chief Marshal rank across the three services in Nigeria is Abayomi Olonishakin (Chief of Defence Staff).
Please correct this error o!

A fake news really. NAF presently does not have an Air Chief Marshal. The present CAS is an Air Marshal.

angry

This almost happened to me years back while in the SAS. shocked

We had just finished an aerial reconnaissance mission over the plains of enemy territory...

I was about removing my helmet and pack my things for the day.

I thought of taking a selfie for my chubby kid at home, being a doting father.

Suddenly as i stood smiling ... i saw my colleagues gasp and their eyes widen in raw, unadulterated FEAR.

This death would have be prevented, needless to say this is pure carelessness and over confidence led to his death, never approach a rotating rotor if you must then keep a safe distance

http://gimmehear.com/helicopter-blade-kills-pilot-while-fighting/. Before boarding a chopper every one is briefed on how, when and where to approach the Chopper, the hlo and hda are also there to direct passengers, if none of them is available, the co pilot does that, for the rotor blades to chop off some one's head means none of this was in place

martineverest:
from technical point of view,an helicopter doesn't tilt first....it rises vertically B4 tilting..secondly, a helicopter blade will scatter the head and some part of the body rather than chopping off
the news is confirmed. just heard it on radio. y'all can calm down with your technical whatever.

You forgot Air Chief Marshal AM Dagash bro, the first CDS of NAF extraction. Proudly NAF.
You see those bloggers ehn, their reward is in heaven. ACM Umar is someone i still saw on friday, he was buried today.
FYI i serve in the theater of operation, and Aircraftman (private) Umar isn't a pilot but a regiment personnel.

Now I get it, they got confused by the ACM. Is he new in the service? May his soul rest in peace.
