2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash
On 8 September 2017, a Schweizer 269C helicopter crashed after an uncontrolled descent during a power-off landing attempt at the Flying W Airport in Medford, New Jersey, United States. The aircraft had experienced engine trouble during a local sightseeing flight for the benefit of passenger Troy Gentry, founder and member of the popular American country music band Montgomery Gentry, which was scheduled to perform at a resort at the airport later that day. The pilot died at the scene; Gentry was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital.


2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash, Aircraft
The accident aircraft was a Schweizer 269C-1 helicopter, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aircraft registration number N204HF, serial number 0109, manufactured in 2000, with 7899.2 total aircraft hours logged at the time of the accident. It was owned by Herlihy Helicopters, Inc. and operated by Helicopter Flight Services, an FAA Part 141 flight school. The craft had passed its most recent 100-hour inspection on 17 August 2017, at 7,884 total aircraft hours, a mere 15 aircraft hours prior to the accident. The aircraft was equipped with a 180 horsepower (130 kW) Lycoming HO-360-C1A engine.


2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash, Crash
The company flight instructor stated that the purpose of the flight was to provide orientation and pleasure for Gentry, who was scheduled to perform at the airport in the evening. During the flight, the pilot reported over UNICOM that manipulating the twist-grip engine control had no effect on engine rpm, and he elected to prepare for a precautionary landing. At 12:40 local time (16:40, 8 September 2017 (UTC) (2017-09-08T16:40UTC)), local police received a call that a helicopter was in distress, and officers arrived at the airport a short time later.


2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash, Crash
At approximately 13:00 local time (17:00, 8 September 2017 (UTC) (2017-09-08T17:00UTC)), the pilot shut off the engine and initiated a power-off descent under autorotation from approximately 950 feet (290 m) above ground level; however, as the descent proceeded, vertical speed became excessive. The aircraft impacted the ground about 220 feet (67 m) south of and in line with Runway 01, leaving a 10 feet (3.0 m) ground scar; the impact substantially deformed the passenger cabin and separated the tail boom from the aircraft. The pilot was trapped in the wreckage and pronounced dead at the scene; passenger Gentry died of his injuries after being taken to Virtua Hospital Marlton.


2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash, Passengers and crew
The aircraft carried two occupants: passenger Troy Gentry and the pilot. The pilot had logged 480.9 total hours of flight experience, of which about 300 hours were in a Schweizer 269 or similar aircraft, and he had logged 1.2 hours in the accident helicopter earlier that day. He held both commercial and flight instructor pilot certificates.


2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash, Investigation
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) immediately began investigations of the accident. On 13 September 2017, the NTSB announced preliminary findings, reporting that the helicopter had experienced engine trouble and that the rotor blades had slowed significantly before the aircraft impacted the ground.


2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash, Investigation
Investigators found that after the pilot reported that the engine was not responding to throttle inputs, he consulted with a company flight instructor and a Designated Pilot Examiner, who both attempted to convince him to perform a shallow run-on landing; however, he decided to perform a power-off landing under autorotation, as this was more familiar to him. Despite being advised "multiple times" to aim for "midfield" and not to initiate the descent until over the runway, he initiated autorotation significantly south of the runway.


2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash, Investigation
As the descent progressed, the flight instructor reported that vertical speed became excessive and forward speed became inadequate, and that the rotors appeared as individual rotating blades rather than a "translucent disc," indicative of decaying rotor rpm. A video recorded by police likewise showed vertical speed increasing and horizontal speed decreasing as the descent proceeded. A post-crash examination revealed that the rotor blades suffered little to no damage along their respective spans toward the blade tips, which is consistent with low rotor rpm on impact.


2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash, Investigation
The throttle tie rod assembly was found separated at the threaded joint, and although it was contaminated by debris from the impact crater, cleaning and close examination of the tie rod threads revealed damage consistent with vibratory thread-to-thread wear. Investigators determined that a new throttle control cable had been installed on 31 August 2016 and that it had been most recently inspected on 17 August 2017. Additionally, the engine had been changed in 2011, and the carburetor had been changed in 2014.


2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash, Investigation
According to the aircraft maintenance manual, throttle rigging should be performed whenever the throttle control cable, engine, and/or carburetor is changed; however, the mechanic stated that he was "not 100 percent [sure]" that this had been done when the engine was changed, and he claimed that "no adjustments were necessary to achieve/maintain proper rigging" when changing the cable.


2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash, Investigation
The NTSB report quotes other documents warning against the excessive application of collective pitch during autorotation, stating that it could "result in a hard landing with corresponding damage to the helicopter" and that it should "never be applied to reduce rpm for extending glide distance."


2017 Medford, New Jersey helicopter crash, Investigation
The accident was attributed to "The pilot's early entry into and failure to maintain rotor rpm during a forced landing autorotation after performing an engine shutdown in flight, which resulted in an uncontrolled descent. Contributing to the accident was the failure of maintenance personnel to properly rig the throttle control tie-rod assembly, which resulted in an in-flight separation of the assembly and rendered control of engine rpm impossible."


2017 Meethotamulla landslide
The Meethotamulla landslide was a garbage landslide of a section of the large dump at Meethoramulla in the Colombo District of Sri Lanka.


2017 Meethotamulla landslide, Landslide

2017 Meethotamulla landslide, Landslide
As per the Disaster Management Centre on 20 April 2017, the landslide caused 32 deaths with 8 more missing, and affected a total of 1,765 people. Following the landslide, Minister Harsha de Silva stated that the garbage dump of 750–1,200 t (1,650,000–2,650,000 lb) daily would be stopped and diverted to two alternative sites, while also highlighting that the Meethotamulla Waste-to-Energy Power Station was only announced a few weeks before the landslide. The 21-acre (85,000 m2) garbage dump site reached a height of 48.5 m (159 ft) before collapsing.


2017 Meethotamulla landslide, Investigation
President Maithripala Sirisena appointed a Presidential Commission of Inquiry headed Justice Dr. Chandradasa Nanayakkara, a retired Judge of the Court of Appeal on 26 April 2017. The commission released a report on 26 October 2017. The report found then Colombo Municipal Commissioner V. K. A. Anura failed to take "necessary action to avert the garbage dump collapse despite he being informed by the officials on the looming threat well in advance". Anura was removed from office early 2018 based on the recommendation of the Presidential Commission.


2017 Meethotamulla landslide, Investigation
The Auditor General issued an report in May 2018 on an audit carried out by his department on the matter, which found the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) responsible for the death of 32 people and for the damage caused to properties as a result of the collapse of the Meethotamulla garbage dump. It found the CMC responsible for not properly disposing waste and not properly carrying out payment of compensation for the effected. It was further revealed that the CMC continued to dump waste at the site even after a court order prevented it in 2009. The report recommended that the Municipal Ordinance be amended and proper waste management processes be implemented.

According to a licensed local boat operator in Sabah, the blame should be put into cheap Chinese online internet purchases and Sabah cowboy boat operators, calling any relevant quarters in China and Sabah to rectify things at both ends to minimise any recurrence. He said:

Those who buy these bargain optional tours in China are unsuspecting. They don't know what product they are buying. They think it's above board since it is online booking, they think they are getting proper licensed boats. The truth is the big sea and big waves whipped up by northeast monsoon winds can scare the pants out of anybody put into tiny boats that are totally unfit for taking tourists out to big seas. We have complained before, we sent pictures but nobody took action and now when deaths occur people jump.

It's very, very scary for anybody when it's big sea, rough sea in those small boats, it's no joke. As for the cowboy boat operators in Sabah, if one doesn't take the offer, others will and so the seller in China need not worry about transport. Cowboy operators are unlike us who abide by many strict rules and regulations, they cram as many as possible.

This was however refuted by the Chinese Consul General in Sabah, stating that the tour packages brought by their tourists from China are from proper channels and none of them knew the jetty they used in Sabah is illegal. Based on a discovery by Sabah local newspaper of Daily Express, the catamaran boat has a "history of problems". The boat was designed and built in 2007–2008 for a research project in eastern Sabah waters of Semporna belonged to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), with a local name of "kahumbu" in Bajau language.

The catamaran had been damaged during the project and forced to beach land as it almost sank near Pom Pom Island as the boat was only designed to face the wave in Semporna waters but not the big waves in Mengalum Island waters. According to the organisation's former project officer Daniel Doughty, "to convert the boat as passenger boat with 30 pax and ply it to Mengalum is a suicide". This was also supported by a local diver after he been asked and shown a picture of the catamaran boat. In his statement, the diver said:

I saw the catamaran being towed after water had leaked into its hull while carrying passengers to Sapi Island sometime last year. Fortunately it managed to reach shore on time before the situation got any worse. I was diving in the area when I saw the catamaran being towed back to Jesselton Point. I learned later that water had been leaking into the hull. Passengers of the catamaran were safely dropped off on the island and had to be picked up by another boat sent by their handling tour agent. The catamaran experienced such problem not once but twice, the second time also last year.
