The cause is quite simple: spatial disorientation as the copter pilot flew into thick fog. It's the same kind of fog that Kobe Bryant's pilot flew into, got lost, could not see left/right/up/down, and crashed into a mountain.

@brodricj3023 13 күн бұрын

That Bell 212 helicopter can fly in fog perfectly well, and 100% for sure the pilot was competent. But what it can't do is fly on one engine at that weight at that altitude. I know, I've flown Bell 212's for years. If an engine failed the other engine just gets them to the scene of the accident.

You can't jump to that conclusion. The accident site is about 10,000 feet elevation. The Bell 212 can't fly at that height and weight on one engine. If an engine failed the other engine does not have enough power to stay airborne and a crash landing in the mountains is inevitable.
