Chopper likely downed by overcrowding
PESHAWAR: Investigations have begun into the cause of the helicopter crash that killed forty-one security personnel but there were indications that the ill-fated MI-17 might have gone down due to over-loading.
Experts from the Armys Aviation Wing are looking into technical aspects to determine the cause of the crash.
But Dawns own inquiries revealed that the Russian-made military transport helicopter can carry 32 people or the equivalent of 4000 kilograms of weight.
As one former aviation expert commented, the helicopter carrying forty-one people on board was obviously over-loaded
