– I actually didn’t think this would happen again, says Anny Britt Telle. She thinks it was difficult to hear about the helicopter accident west of Sotra in Vestland on Wednesday evening. A woman has been reported dead. Telle herself lost her husband in the Turøy accident eight years ago, when a helicopter crashed north of Sotra. A total of 13 people lost their lives.

It was absolutely terrible. She turned on the news and called her three children. It was important for the Telle family to stay in touch throughout the evening. One son got the rescue helicopter right over the roof of the house when they were on their way to Haukeland. – We had such bad memories of the Turøy accident. This was very close, that is, says Anny Britt Telle. Got a feeling of déjà vu On Thursday, she was visited by her second son, Ørjan Telle, and his two daughters at Telavåg in the south of Øygarden municipality. He knows many people who work offshore, and says that on Wednesday they did exactly as they did on the fateful day in 2016 when his father died: looked for as much information as possible and as correct information as possible about who was on board. – It was almost like a déjà vu experience. It’s easy to see that there are some famous people. It is to find out where the helicopter came from and where it was going, he says.

He still does not know if he knew anyone on board. Ørjan Telle feels that Wednesday’s incident was resolved more quickly than the one at Turøy. They found the passengers relatively quickly and got them to hospital. – It was a little worse last time, but in any case there is this uncertainty, it is disgusting. Hope the next of kin get answers Anny Britt Telle has finally gotten used to the helicopter traffic that constantly flies over her home in Øygarden. After the accident in 2016, she spent a long time not freezing when she heard a helicopter. Son Ørjan has become more familiar with the helicopters that supported flights over Sotra, but with the new accident it will be very close for him too. – It is special, that is clear.

The police say they believe that the trip recorder, also called “the black box”, on the helicopter will be found, but that the job is challenging due to high waves and strong winds. The six people who was on board the helicopter was wearing a survival suit, say the police. The CEO of Equinor states that the deceased woman was a nurse at work to look after others. All helicopter flights to and from the heliport are canceled until 6 p.m. ConocoPhillips flights are canceled until further notice. There are also the flights for Aker BP.

The police confirm that there has been an aviation accident in the sea west of Sotra in Vestland. The rescue helicopter Sola reports that they are on their way to Haukeland hospital with five people on board. The reason they have to go towards Haukeland is that they no longer have fuel to stay in the area. HRS knows that they already have rescue helicopter Florø on its way to the search area. There is also an air ambulance in the area that indicates the location of the last one. The rescue helicopter Sola reports that they cannot see the helicopter itself that has crashed. Øygarden municipality receives notification of the helicopter crash. They saw emergency staff. Persons are observed in the sea and hoisting starts. The persons must have a doctor in the sea for 45-50 minutes. The Sola rescue helicopter observes people in the sea and starts the process of hoisting them up.

At 20.03 the rescue helicopter Sola reports that they are approximately 15 minutes from the position. HRS asks Kystradio to call out lifeboats from the Rescue Association. We are talking about Bjarne Kyrkjebø and Kristian Gerhard Jensen II. HRS can confirm that it is one of the rescue helicopters from Bristow, and that they have been out on a training trip. The main rescue center asks the air traffic controller in Avinor to check if they can make contact with the helicopter. Three minutes later they receive feedback that they cannot make contact over the radio. The helicopter hits the water and an emergency direction finder is activated. The main rescue center receives a message that an emergency beacon has been triggered and the rescue leaders on duty start to check more closely what kind of machine it is that is sending the signal and try to make contact. HRS is informed that a personal emergency beacon, of the type worn by helicopter crew in a rescue helicopter, has been triggered. The position of this is in the same area as the emergency bearing transmitter of the helicopter. Avinor, ACC and the tower on Flesland are contacted. The helicopter probably loses radar contact, according to Aircraftregister.net. The helicopter is completing an exercise with a ship from Wilson Shipping on behalf of Equinor. The helicopter flies west. The helicopter takes off from Bergen airport, Flesland. Show more Now their thoughts go to the relatives.
