Well put BKHK. Couldn't agree with you more.
Unfortunately, the press out here in Canada is rife with stories about the S-92 and Sikorsky now. So much so, that although the authorities have cleared the aircraft and Cougar, the operator, to fly again, we are still grounded and doing transportation by boat. It was a 22hour sailing for me coming out this time.
I agree these incidents have to be investigated and lessons learned, but the press seems to be acting irresponsibly.
Sabotage, although not out of the question, is highly unlikely, in these instances.
ANT ... Grand Banks in the North Atlantic ... without helicopters!!!! Range Rover Evoque 5 door on order.

Land Rover Defender 110 CSW 200 TDi blue (Offroad prep'ed).
Citroen C4 Grand Picasso
Aston Martin DB9 Tungsten Silver
Another Citroen C4 Grand Picasso (Christinemobile)
1990 Mini Cooper SE - classic! (now sold)
New addition - 1972 Triumph Stag Pimento Red

Ant, sabotage wasn't being inferred by me, just hoping that it isn't something that rears its head either now or in the future.

As was seen in London with the G20 riots, people do stupid things in the name of their self-righteous causes and the green-eco-loonies are as bad as any.

Also I seem to remember the anti-animal cruelty lot dishing death threats over lab testing.

I really do hope for all concerned this is the last 'Incident'  Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

Its about time they scrapped the Pumas far to many issues with them.

Only found out this morning when I walked into the tv room ( currently offshore Baku ) heart allways sinks when you hear of an incident.

Can see alot of guys being stuck on for a while, no chance they will ever bring back vessel transfers in the UK.
