How desperately sad for the fine folks of Nova Scotia. What did they ever do to deserve this calamity on top of everything else?

What is worrying is that there apparently was no distress call (though, as usual, the reporters were not asking the right questions at the briefings)so the failure must have been catastrophic. We should have the answer soon from the FDR.

There is a report of flares being seen after the event. Who or what would have fired them off.

Apparently the flares were fired automatically on impact of the helicopter with the water.

The recorders on military helicopters are designed to break away on impact.
