Was human error the cause of the fatal B.D.F. helicopter crash? That’s what the Honduras Air Force Accident Prevention and Investigation Board says is the preliminary, probable cause. The Ministry of National Security released the written report into the cause of the crash on Tuesday evening. But the report also looks at a number of factors that could have contributed to the fatal crash, including the use of cell-phone, weather conditions and the lack of night vision equipment. The report’s prelim determination is that the crew experienced spatial disorientation when it was making a right turn and led them to rush against the water, without having enough time to identify the situation and react with the use of flight controls. News Five’s Andrea Polanco delves into the report.
