Quote: You can walk on the lava. You can't walk on the water. Helicopters can autorotate to a successful vertical landing if they lose their engine.
Like they did on Oahu yesterday?
Lucky there wasn't much traffic or that student wasn't in his car when it was hit.
A friend came from the Mainland a few years ago & wanted to see the lava via helecopter. I wouldn't go but my boyfriend did. He took pics the whole way. I got a lot of really nice photos of my house in HPP/ 12th. He was told that was their regular flight path. He asked them why they don't fly over the ocean. Answer: Takes longer & uses more fuel.
So we have major inconvenience so the tour companies can save a little time and fuel. Sound fair to you?
