For some reason I think a tag line was the cause.
Back to base to clean our pants.
Assume the white smoke is the flotation bags deploying? Who was quick enough in that s#it storm to deploy the bags?
Narrative:
The helicopter avoided a crash at the Vieille lighthouse, off the Pointe du Raz, during a maintenance operation of the Lighthouses and Beacons staff.
The pilot recovered the aircraft a few meters from the surface of the sea, in a maneuver that caused the release of a large cloud of smoke.
Emergency buoyancy has been triggered.
The reason of the incident is unknown for the moment.
A person on the lighthouse was injured.
