...every time a chopper went down it was later found that equipment written off in the crash weighed several tons more than gross cargo capacity of the birds...

5. Yeah, I just posted roughly the same sentiment.

The list of papers claimed to be lost is going to climb faster than pedestrians jumping onto a crashed city bus.
