according to Estonian news agency STT officials sais that passengers are trapped in helicopter, but there aren't still any official information about death of people --ariok (Polish Wikinews)

In a fact STT is Finnish news agency: Suomen Tietotoimisto. Passengers are reported to still be inside the chopter, but as there are no extra oxygen storages all hope for survival is lost. According to news, chopter's emergency features (floats around the chopper and distress signal) aren't found to have worked in this case. What on technical side raises the possibility of really hard crash. Rest in peace. -seu
yes, i noticed that... it was mistake, because Polish News Agency PAP written that STT is Estonian agency --ariok


how common is helicopter travel in the area? anyone? --CGW 17:01, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's becoming more common. Copterline (which just lost one chopter) had 75 000 passengers last year. It is biggest on its line of business in Finland and one of the biggest in Europe. They have 28 weekly regular scheduled flights between Helsinki and Tallinn. -seu
To clarify: Copterline makes 28 flights every weekday, 18 on saturdays and 12 on sundays. --194.63.234.105 19:45, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
