This a horrible news. May Allah preserve them.

One must wonder why was it so important to be out adventiring in a such inclement weather?

Helicopters are difficult to use and maintain for routine transportation. However, POTUS routinely travels in Marine One without any incident so far. But my guess is, Marine One would not have flown in this weather condition in this terrain. Big part of their safety record is knowing when not to fly.

POTUS traveling is usually very short distance and good usually m in clear weather as you said.

The weather conditions must be undoubtedly severe. The Turkish helicopter is waiting for 'suitable weather conditions' to approach the area.

If this is high altitude crash zero chance of survival but hopefully this was emergency landing and good chances of survival.

I was just reading yesterday that patient getting to ER within first hour is so important for life.
