Its a little disconcerting that the pilot was able to grab a life raft and get out of the helicopter saving only himself. Not judging, he has a family and its good he survived. I guess i'd just like an explanation. It will come.
-
He was in the front and they were trapped in the back.Doubt he could have done anything without help from first responders.He is not Superman.
-
I was not in any way inferring that he was. So quick to judge......it was explained, and just a very sad situation.

I was really wishing that everyone would have made it out alive.. so very sad to hear they didn't.

I am sure more of the story will come out on what had happened but it will never bring those other 5 back.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

He’s the only one that had a quick release seat belt and not a harness that needed a knife to be cut for emergency release.
