F-32 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think the flat (ish) impact helped. Not sure I'd like to be strapped in to a crashed Apache, upside down under water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Glad to hear that both crew-members got out OK. Crashing helicopters and water are not the best combination. I wonder if it will be repaired? Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like buying a second hand car that's had a major crunch, not sure I'd want to fly it if it is repaired! Looks to me like the spine of the helicopter has broken which I would have thought was pretty serious. If there are any airframe engineers reading the thread perhaps they can offer an opinion?
