I heard about that today via Twitter of all things. I feel bad for the families of those who were on the helicopter.

Sigh. Don't fly non-aerodynamic craft into windshears.

Remember kids, the glide ratio of most helicopters is between 2:1 and 4:1. Airplanes are usually 10:1 and beyond.

knowing only that they were flying in the dark in a t-storm, i would suspect a lightening strike.
