The helicopter crash occurred at around 13:30 local time in heavy fog in a remote, mountainous area.
When have you seen heavy fog at 1:30pm in the afternoon? Usually, the sun has burned off the "thick blanket of fog" early in the morning, especially on mountain slopes. The only areas where fog may remain is in the mountain valleys or in what they are calling the "fog shrouded forest".
OK... who flies a helicopter into a foggy mountain valley or above a "fog shrouded forest"?
It was reported to be raining heavily in those mountains to as was shown on the first few videos of the rescue staging area with the heavy sheet of fog. Just seems too convenient suddenly all the Sat Weather has been wiped. I wonder historically if that area has sudden odd weather patterns like some rare places here in the US? And if not, what or whom are they covering up for?
I've been on a helicopter where we had to land midday and wait hours for fog to clear. It's hard to know what the conditions will be over your entire route.
Ditto. My family was forced down in the middle of the day, in the mountains.
Actually, it landed on the lawn of an Amerian Embassador, and his wife very kindly gave us tea, and invited us to visit for Christmas dinner.

🤣🤣🤣 it’s a “Christmas miracle”
indeed, it encouraged me to read my first Nancy Drew novel - (I am Dutch), which was the Christmas gift from that very kind lady.
What a memorable experience. When was this?
I was a child.
