Glad you're OK. That's like my worst nightmare.
Well, that or getting hit by a plane in freefall.

New sticker for your helmet?
I've got an idea...How about a little stenciled silhouette of an airplane with a slash through it? If you survive any more crashes you can add others!

yeah, its a good thing he did save em....as he was the one who ran out of gas.....losing two engines on take off has got to be a lack of fuel.....probably fuel mismanagement...

Now Marc. Don't be jumping to conclusions yet. Let's all be thankful that no one was killed and that we now have the luxury of studying the wreck realitively intact. From the pictures I can see the left prop and the right prop are bent aft. No power on either engine at touchdown. We'll see. Many things can fit this scenario other than running out of gas. I can list them but I don't want those words being quoted out of context as truth as to what happened.
Another thing I want to point out is that the Lexan door is bent out. Did they have trouble getting out? Did it pop out during the impact? That's why I like Twin otters. There is another door in the back directly across from the main door. Some even have emergency hatches along the main body.
Omri, was there trouble getting out after you came to a stop?

Glad to hear your Ok man Have you seen my baseball?

So the props would have bent forward if it was a power on crash?

[AndyMan 7]

I would think they would be bent sideways if the engines had power, no?

now I know why they keep telling me to put my seat belt and helmet on for take off.

Thank You!! While seat belt usage is pretty much a given where I jump, far too many people don't wear their helmet. Wake up people.... this is why you should wear your helmet until it's time to take the seat belt off...

Amen to that...I do on every ride...unless it's a plane I'm driving.....of course....I may rethink that..."I only have a C license, so I don't know shit..right?"-Clay

Fasten ANYTHING that can be a flying hazard. Skyboards, Cameras, people, anything at could fly around the cabin in the case of a plane crash. There was a major crash about 10 years ago (Some people know what I'm talking about), after the crash they looked at one of the helmets that had been loose, it had something like 8-10 peoples blood on it. There is just no excuse for that. Fasten the helmet to the chest strap if not on your head. Fasten your self in so that if the person behind you poped out, you would'nt move. Through or around Main Lift Webs work great. Over the lap belts leave a lot to be desired.

yea, this door is fucked up big time, takes us about 30 sec to open on jump run since i doesn't fit the frame perfectly. so when we stopped the dude that was next to the door just kicked it, i don't even remember him trying to open it.

HEY OMRI,
LOG IT IN YOUR BOOK!!!! NOT MANY PPL GET TO LOG EVEN ONE CRASH!!! glad your still with us bro! be a little more picky when you jump a new aircraft will ya?! if the bells and sirens werent going off before that shoulda set em off!
getting high is fun, but coming down is the best part

When an engine hits something hard while under power the blades will bend forward. If there is low/no power then they will bend aft. The only thing this proves is where the power was on that engine at time of impact. You need much more info to prove how it got there. Again, I don't want to get into a lot of speculation.
What I do want to find is a website that has accident reports for Israeli aircraft. Don't know if they do it like the NTSB here in the States. Anyone? Anyone?
