Towards a notarial divorce?
Nearly five months have elapsed since the tragic helicopter crash April 25, 2009 at RITAL in Corsica, during a flight from Ponte-Leccia SMUR to Bastia for transporting rushed to hospital a young 20 year old woman about to give birth Justine Gressler.
Several letters have since been sent to ministers of guardianship and the Accident Investigation Bureau Defense / Air, on which the civil aviation helicopter Dragon 2b conducting transportation that evening. In vain.
Despite a civil party in the hands of Mrs. TALLONE, Magistrate at Bastia and, again, despite several letters, some by letter, the criminal file, which contains the first report of findings, scene photographs, autopsy reports of victim, witness interviews, and probably many other important elements, remains inaccessible to counsel parents that I'm Justine.
Apart from the acknowledgments of La Poste, no answer, no reaction.
Total silence.
Why?
should know that the helicopter EC -145, another name for the BK 117-C2, whose first flight took place June 12, 1999, is still considered one of the flagships of the fleet of Eurocopter helicopters, a division of EADS, and that if in 2008 no fewer than 81 aircraft of this type have been ordered, it is matter of a pending transaction with the U.S. on 350 units.
But after that accident, various features or weaknesses of this device have been reported officially, in particular through several airworthiness directives (abbreviated to AD) dated June 4 (AD No. 2009-0119) and by the Directive (EAD Emergency Airworthiness Directive) 2009-0123 E-June 10 replaced by Directive EAD 2009-0158 E-16 July 2009, on all safety operation of the tail rotor back of this aircraft type, already involved in crashes that occurred on July 23, 2003 (registration F-ZBPC helicopter) and June 5, 2006 (F-ZBPB helicopter) in the Pyrenees.
Therefore, we are entitled to ask whether a mechanical malfunction of the gearbox through the tail rotor would not cause loss of control of the aircraft by its pilot This ten days before the production of "alert service bulletin" MBB BK 117-C2-65A-003, May 4, 2009 following several warnings of EUROCOPTER and alerts published in July-August 2000 in the journal AVIATION MECHANICS BULLETIN on a fatal crash on takeoff of a helicopter NEW YORK BK 117-B2.
A breakdown of this kind would it have been detected on site, in Corsica, with the arrival of specialists, which might explain why the Police Force was ordered to keep 500 meters journalists present (and was surprised that CORSE-MATIN)
The assertion by the prefect of Corsica, Hervé Bouchaert, the existence of a forecast "terrible" it is consistent with statements METAR Airport Bastia-Poretta, knowing also that this helicopter is presented on the website of EUROCOPTER as operational in all weather?
Furthermore, why did it take seven to eight hours to locate possible survivors and rallies that flight PONTE-LECCIA/BASTIA April 25, the apparatus is to seek a path of only 40 km and Last location known to have been from the secondary radar, can be deducted from that reported his disappearance ground radar, constantly informed by the onboard device known as a transponder?
In any event, even if the whole truth be known it one day, it is unacceptable and seriously insulting to the time when a Magistrate has held for several months, a record that does not communicate with the plaintiff and where the Ministers "pass the buck" (Interior of Defense) without making, neither one nor the other, a shred of response to nagging questions that haunt families day and night victims, they remain distant from the surveys.
I, July 25, three months to the day after the tragedy, launched a public appeal on behalf of families, in an attempt to obtain a blank reaction.
Unsuccessfully. Press did not publish anything.
So the question arises whether this silence - including media - is voluntary.
For the family of Justine Gressler,
FLECHER Me Henry, lawyer.
