History of deadly crashes
In 2013, the R66 Robinson was seen as a deadly machine which was ready to crash. Some of the flights lasted for around a minute in total before it crashed. The lawyers which handled the case of the crashes said that they believe that there were defects to the Robinson R66's, mechanical and theoretical examination said to have guided to these results in 2013.
In 2013, Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman had intensely analysed the facts and mechanics behind the crashes that followed the R66. The civilian helicopter was said to be on the path of destruction in 2013. After years of analysis, yet again the mysterious crash came to the light for faultiness of the engine make.
