Not me. He touched down slow, at an angle and landed fairly gentle on the water. He could have told the passengers on the intercom they were going down in water and as soon as the aircraft is in the water and stopped, unbuckle and exit the helicopter....I dunno. Just speculating.
So if it had been equipped with pontoons it would have remained upright???
There will be no shortage of coulda-shouldas here. It will be studied, future pilots will have the lessons learned as part of their training, and ultimately lives will be saved, those lives will have been paid for in advance, payed for in blood.
The intercom....Are you serious there is no intercom unless everyone on board has on a head set and is connected to the ICS and then they are tourist and a freeking out to start with.
The noise level in the aft cabin is tremendous
I saw a video of the crash in real time. The only people who would have likely been able to exit in time are SEALs.
