    Guys its really bad news i heard in the TV here in PHil..
    a Chopper Crash through the road and hits 2 pedicabs killing 9 people..
    "im really curious , because the air force said the cause of the crash is the string of a Kite" the string used in the kite is not ordinary its a "nylon String"
    nylon string is used in fishing net..its really tough string.
    and the string hit the choppers blades and get in through the inner surface through the blades..and when its spins the nylon also spins..and
    make the speed of the chopper decreases and crash..
    the incident is on investigation until now.. ..

    link is now released by our TV news..

    Hmm that's kinda strange. Nylon can be strong, but if a knife can cut it, why wouldn't the choppers blades cut it? I guess it's still possible.

    There is no way it can crash because of a kite I can snap a kite with one hand. Unless the nylon or whatever it was was like 3 feet thick. XD

    Yea... It's almost impossible for the string to pass trough the blades without being cut.

    o_O I'd say that it was sabotage, it would have to be ALOT of string to cause that...

    That's horrible.. those poor people. Caused by a nylon string, eh? I guess if it got caught on the inside that causes the choppers to spin, then I guess it could wrap around and possibly crash the helicopter.

    :( I'll never see Helicopters and Kite strings in the same way again.

    :eek:

    Jesus how guilty would you feel for flying that kite. It seems improbable but stranger things have happened.

    Maybe the string just got in the wrong place or just attatched to some particular bit that was really important. Just bad luck I guess. Tis a bit of a random thing to happen though.
