Helicopter crash investigation into ‘5 deaths’… Expect difficulty due to lack of black box
[앵커]
An investigation by the authorities has begun in earnest to discover the cause of the crash of a rental helicopter used to extinguish forest fires in Yangyang, Gangwon Province, where five people died.
The Accident Investigation Committee has secured CCTV footage of the helicopter crashing while spinning in place and is analyzing it.

The remains of burnt helicopters are scattered among the trees.
Investigators are moving around the site, looking for the location of the helicopter wreckage and documenting it.
The Air Accident Investigation Committee of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the police carried out an investigation at the crash site for the second day.
“Right now, the most urgent priority is to collect data. First, save the crash site, then check the wreckage distribution… Move the wreckage, and then go to the test analysis stage…”
However, it is expected that it will be difficult to determine the exact cause of the accident because the helicopter that crashed is a 47-year-old helicopter and does not have a flight recorder, that is, a black box.
However, Sajowi is said to have secured CCTV footage of the helicopter crash.
In this video, the helicopter flying at low altitude is known to have been shot while spinning in place and crashing.
“Flying low is actually a very bad aircraft condition. Why did it fly so low? That’s why we’re wondering.”
The two women whose personal information could not be confirmed were in their 50s, and it was found that the mechanic’s acquaintance was likely.
It is questionable why the 20-year-old mechanic and two women who were not on the flight plan got on the helicopter.
“First of all, we intend to look at the rules of the rules, the captains who went on the flight in accordance with certain aviation laws, and any regulations or offenses that the captains who were operating must stick to them.”
On the 27th, around 10:50 am, a medium rental helicopter of the ‘S-58T’ model crashed in Yasan, Hyeonbuk-myeon, Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do, killing all five residents.
