Yesterday while I was traveling in a helicopter which crashed in the sea. That was closest call yet.

The main rotor failed and the chopper started going down from 1500 ft. Thanks God all the choppers we use have a safety future of inflatable skids which inflates when comes in contact with water. The good thing is the pilot was able to bring it down straight instead of at an angle, the CG was good and the chopper safely balanced on the skids. We were picked up by the Iranian coast gaurd within 1 hour and now today I am back home after 5 days.

Well just another day at work.

Yikes…but it’s good to hear that the plot/saftey features did the trick…Was it a free fall, or was there still lift being generated by the rotors?
