Had it been this happened in Nigeria it would have been a story that it can't happen in a sane country





Seems a sane country is now an Insane country

pocohantas:
Helicopters are generally unsafe.

Only people who are moved by its aesthetics do not know this. I rather trek from Agadez to Tripoli than enter one.

Same here

Manny21:
That is why one should live life at his own terms. Don't wait till you have it all before enjoying the little you have. Eat anything that catches your fancy at anytime even if it means using your last card. Stop the competition. There can never be the right time. The right time is always now.

I pity you.

When you squander your last card, you will then come over to my side make we squander my own last card, abi?

Nonsense

Paying almost ₦4mill to die is crazy..

Wigwe was clearly a DGAF guy and risk taker in life.

Omihanifa:
The manufacturer should look into this one crash too many

They should sue him

A pilot told me that, chopper is very difficult compared to aeroplane.

ValCon888:
Helicopters are the most difficult aircrafts to fly and the most dangerous.

Unlike planes that want to stay on the air, helicopters are constantly looking for a way to kill you.

USA aircrafts, helicopters and jets are always faulty, I can still remember Boeing 737 max, but they'll always cover it up trying to compete with airbus

RichDad1:
Imagine this happening in Nigeria. The hypocritical Emergency lovers would have been everywhere shouting and screaming their lungs out about saner climes.

They're already up there blaming the aircraft itself

It's too much

Too many crashes qualify it as a flying coffin. Must it have 100 crashes before it becomes a discontinued operation.
The family should sue the manufacturer.

Choppers and private jet...the billionaires slayer. A great loss to the family..but why was he with his wife and son... I can never try such we go on different planes..guess he hired the chopper cos of saving cost and time.

Using a single powered helicopter engine during winter conditions comes with a huge risk.

The major issue was the helicopter blowing up in flames after the crash... if it had been explosion proof, the deaths may not have happened even after crash..
Also, the copter perhaps wasn't supposed to fly in the kind of weather described

The pilot was not sincere - he should have announced the situation of the weather and conditions of the engine to the crews. If the crews insisted in flying the helicopter he should insist no.
Safety first...

If Wigwe knew this I am sure he would've applied caution and wouldn't have gambled with his precious live and that of her wife's and son's.

Wow

Absolutely true.

A man of such caliber should never be that careless. Ever since i was little i learned to apply certain self preservation principles from different places. And Mario Puzo's God Father Trilogy which when pondered on with a sound mind can guide u through certain real life's situations. This was something etched deep in my bone marrows

Rubbish. They killed the man

Air crash has been rampant in the US of recent ...both military and civilian casualties

The 'three others' don't have an identity or what? The man was stupendously rich with the bulk of his wealth coming from shady deals. Unfortunately, he didn't even live to see his 60th birthday.

All the wealth he amassed will be enjoyed by 'others'. I'm certain that if a very poor man had asked him for just 50K prior to his death, he would have turned him down.

I also think that individuals shouldn't be allowed to own banks solely. How can millions of people entrust their money into the hands of a 'few individuals'? Like seriously?

Watianoengineer:
The US president flies the black hawk helicopter and never has any accidents been recorded. Seems there are special helicopters built for people in power

It's called Marine one and airforce one for a reason

But they are more mobile. You can park it in your inlaw's compound for bragging right

This particular chopper is made by Airbus...

When you are poor and wretched: poverty will cause your death.
When you are Rich and wealthy ,your wealth will still cause your death
Death is a sure bet for human beings

Seems like you did not see the ones who paid about 250k usd to sink to the bottom of the ocean in a "mini-sub".

The Aircraft has a terrible history of air mishaps.

2023Blessed:
Due diligence. I was just about saying this.
I mean I know not everyone would but I definitely check the history of aircraft models I will be travelling with.

Hahaha. Check from now till eternity what will be will be. There are aircrafts that have been made newly that still crashed. There are some that have been in operation for decades yet they are still functioning. Even the said copter that killed him has been in service for some time and people have been getting on and off the craft.
Life is full of uncertainties. What about someone that was full of life just a few minutes ago but suddenly dropped dead the next minute? I have seen someone who went for a routine medical checkup and after seeing the doctor she came out and was waiting for her driver, but while waiting she suddenly collapsed and that was it for her as she died right there in the hospital.
Life is a mystery.

If u have gone offshore b4..

u will know that when u re inside helicopter you always saying your last prayers.
