2bees Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 So I believe. An incident involving a chopper, hope it just fell over and all are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Just heard a headline on manx radio that a Bell Jet Ranger has cshed up on the mountainside near the 33rd. No reports on the pilot, but no one else involved. It was a privately owned machine with one on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Can't see any racing going ahead today. Because that's the priority now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoymouse Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Can't see any racing going ahead today. Because that's the priority now? No, the pilots well being and the ongoing investigation take priority, hence why I don't think there will be any racing today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily no buildings or housing near that valley but God what awful news. Heard a lot of emergency services heading out just after 9 so assume that was the cause. Terrible.

Tarne Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Privately owned Bell 206 with 1 onboard, receiving medical treatment but is probably ok. Lucky though - most helicopter crashes are pretty bad because they have the gliding quotient of Johnny Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Thank heavens, apparently the police are talking to him so not too serious I hope. So glad, I was hearing various stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it's awful and hopefully no fatalities if people are just receiving medical treatment. Lots of space to bring it down and hopefully take some speed off before impact up there.

But the Police statement suggested they were speaking to the pilot involved. Its a hell of a recovery job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Roads closing at 4 today. At the moment winds are too high for air-med to fly and the hospital currently has no free beds, . Garry Thompson, on Radio TT now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far_north Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yes, has to be a film crew or one of those paid for rides. ........... Not necessarily - could just be someone transiting the area, above the 3,000 foot NOTAM'ed restricted airspace. Also, if it was was filming it would almost certainly have more than just the pilot on board (news reports have just one POB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
