    I have spent a lot of time flying around the mountains in choppers when I worked for doc, and some of those guys are fuckin insane. Funnily enough a few of them are dead just now.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    On the news it looked like one of the workers underneath the chopper pulled one of the wires into the rotors.

    Faulty chopper. Look closely at the video. None of the airbags deployed.

    Sometimes it's the wire you know about that kills you.
    Peter Button flew into the wires that he helped install.
    I nearly flew in to a set of high tension wires that I had been working around all day.
    Just a moment's inattention sometimes....

    They only deploy during head-on collisions.
