Crap! Sorry to learn that.
Toward the end of my 23 year career in the Marine Corps, I really did not like to ride in helicopters. I was hearing about way too many people I knew being involved in accidents or near accidents and, counting my own adventures in vertical take off and landing, I felt like a fugitive from the law of averages.
Service in the armed forces is dangerous enough even when you do everything correctly. But dying because of furniture; that just sucks.
To be fair, half would have died anyway. Tranny filter that shouldn’t have been able to be installed upside down; was. This crash made them fix that. Gen Peterson was rumored to ask if his furniture was on the down bird when the mishap was reported.
