I think I attempted to make a mayday call using the train radio. |
Air accident investigators have said that the helicopter made a vertical descent on to the venue, which was packed with around 100 people, and that the pilot made no mayday call. |
A single mayday call was heard on the Brantford Unicom frequency. |
Often it's required to go to the general area where the last mayday perhaps was reported and from there commence search operations, prior to the precise location of that incident. |
The leader of the 16 kayakers put out two mayday alerts on a VHF radio at 4pm after one of the party capsized. |
In fact, the helicopter was on site 52 minutes after the initial mayday call. |
