I think it's also possible that they may have skipped a few physics lessons. What's remarkable is that nobody said "uhh... don't you think this is a bad idea". I'd love to have listened in on the phone call for the insurance claim on that one... So, you had a crash. Yes. And how did this happen? Well, we were hovering close to sea level when the chopper suddenly lurched downwards. And what caused the lurch? I tried to increase altitude and speed but it didn't work. And why not? Well... apparently we were tied to a boat. A boat? Yes, a boat. Why were you tied to a boat? We were giving it a tow back to port. You were towing a boat? Yes. Why were you towing a boat? Uhhhmmmmm... Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
