Morane 29 Helicopter Crashes into a Lake While Trying to Collect Water
A French helicopter crew have survived after the aircraft they were travelling in crashed into a lake while trying to collect water to fight wildfires. An eyewitness filmed the helicopter descending on the body of water carrying a vessel for collecting water, before appearing to lose control and ending up in the lake in Rosporden, north-western France. According to a statement from the local municipality, the pilot, the officer aboard the helicopter, and a witness were taken to a local hospital, with no fatalities reported. In a statement on social media, Mayor of Rosporden Michel Loussouarn said authorities had taken measures to contain the risk of pollution in the lake. The French Civil Aviation Authority has opened a safety investigation into the incident. The Morane 29 helicopter has been leased by the department every summer since 2023 to fight fires. It was deployed 33 times this year, carrying out 154 drops. |

The chopper don't like it when you dip the tail spinner thingy in the water, it always turns out bad.  |

He probably IS! That is what professional pilots sound like when they talk. The terms he used are standard pilot "Lingo" "Lingo" - typical jargon used by professionals to show their mastery of flying helicopters. "Tail Spinner Whirling Flying Thingy" is just one of many phrases that the pros use!  I use the same phrases to pick up flight attendants at the airport! |

That was, by far, the darkest "Eww La La" that I have ever heard.

 Yeah! WAY TOO MANY of them wind up having wieners, even though they have long hair and look beautiful! I gotta work on my pickup lines! |

Coming in a bit too fast trying to hurry up and get it done. Poor piloting.  |
