Mekanisk feil står det, og grunnen kan være halerotorproblem. Som du kan lese er dette et gammelt helikopter, sivilt kalt Bell 212. Video viser havariet, og det ser for meg ut til at helikopteret har mistet halerotorbladet. Undertegnede var med på et havari med en Bell UH-1B i 1968 hvor halerotoren stoppet. Det skjedde i lav høyde under avgang og nødlandingen/havariet førte ikke til personskade. Helikopteret ble gjenoppbygget på Kjeller.

In a statement, the army said the military helicopter
crashed into a forest area in Quibdo.

immediately to the area to deal with the emergency and investigate the causes
of what happened,” he said.
