## Resource

A helicopter crash on May 17th claimed the lives of pilot Matthew Brown and guide Michael Roach during a high-stakes trophy hunt. Hovering near a cliff to retrieve a chamois from a ravine, the aircraft suddenly plummeted—captured in a chilling photo by a passenger moments before impact. Cockpit footage and the emergency locator’s failed signal (due to a broken antenna) helped pinpoint the crash at 9:35 AM. The Airbus, barely two years old and recently inspected, was part of an aerial hunting operation that had already secured a tahr. Investigators are piecing together the tragedy as wreckage is examined and a draft report seeks input from those on the ground.
