Pretty astonishing finding in a Norwegian accident report.

Short version: Helicopter pilot feels mechanical vibration, decides to land and check it out. No chip light or other warnings. While searching for a good spot, it gets worse and just before he can set it down, the main gearbox fails and the helicopter crashes from 2-3 m height. Both occupants uninjured. Investigation finds a snapped input shaft containing two wine corks. Someone has probably thought that end plug was causing an oil leak and fixed it with some fluid containment devices presumably readily available in the workshop. The real source of the oil leak was a propagating crack.

The gearbox apparently had a spotty maintenance record from time in Italy, partly with the company "Copter & Boat’s Dream".

There's a channel where a guy sits at the Rufford Ford in North Nottinghamshire and films people destroying their cars trying to cross water.

It would be better to drive the ~3 miles around the other way to not have to drive through the river, but if you absolutely must, you want to maintain a steady speed and create a bow wave ahead of your car to prevent water from getting into the intake.

the vans that start floating away... nothing to help that

Please note that the cars stopped after the ford are permanently destroyed. Hydrolocking causes irreparable damage.

Look, the obvious solution is to design a global energy infrastructure that releases massive amounts of climate altering gases into the atmosphere, eventually causing reduced rainfall in the affected area and eliminating the periodic flooding.

Actually, once the north Atlantic current dies off due to ocean warming, it will be frozen solid for 6 months a year, so problem solved.


Also everybody who lives there will be frozen solid.

The bow wave approach is worse if the water wasn't high enough to get in to begin with

Even if you keep the intake above the water your drivetrain probably isn't sealed and there's water in the differential now.
