We talk an awful lot about airplanes on this channel. But airplanes are not the only classification of what you would call an aircraft. Helicopters also populate the skies and have their own history. Today we are going to explore the deadliest Helicopter Disaster to have occurred in Europe. It involves one of the more distinctive helicopters, an aircraft that is more known for its roles in the military, but this was a passenger helicopter. So what happened that led to such a disaster. We need to know more about that particular helicopter and have a closer look at its inner workings.
