Two weeks ago, we took a helicopter tour on Kaua'i. Last thursday, there was a fatal crash there. The pilot was a Vietnam vet, been flying choppers since the war (at least), logged 5 years in that particluar model... Four people dead, three critically injured (including the pilot). Crashes happen on the island, almost every year, apparently. But like airline crashes, you don't let it bother you too much, because of the number of flights they do.

There was another fatal crash this sunday. One dead, two critically injured. This time it was the same company we flew, and the same model of aircraft. The article didn't release the pilot's name, so I wonder if it was our pilot. I believe they only had two choppers, but I'm not sure how many pilots they have.
