Is that a version of the EH101? If there is a mechanical fault that could cause real problems.

Condolences to the families of all those invoveld.

this aircraft is the merlin h101. the canadian version is just a name change. as of today they can't say what happened, the pilot and copilot got out ok, so they will be questioned as to what happened.
