Can you imagine the clusterfrick to traffic if any structural damage was done to the overpass, having to reroute traffic to Range and Florida for sever weeks/months!!


That's my concern also. The helicopter is a mess but what about the interstate? Geez if that is compromised that mistake is going to be even worse than it was. The ramifications of structure damage right there will be catastrophic.

Fixable but man that is going to be spendy. Not only the main rotor hub, the main gearbox, mast shaft, all the structure that the main gearbox bolts to is probably ripped to shreds. All depends on weather or not Lockheed Martin (owns Sikorsky) will want to work on a repair scheme or just part it out. Glad its not my problem.

Edit on seeing another picture, the aircraft is off the lowboy on the left side..main landing gear is on the cement, which means the belly of the aircraft is laying on the lowboy
