From GMA News (May 6): PAF team starts probe on chopper crash in Rizal that killed 3 soldiers
A Philippine Air Force investigation team on Saturday began the probe on the helicopter crash in Rizal province that killed three people earlier this week.
A report by Katrina Son on Balitanghali said the team arrived at Sitio Hilltop at Barangay Sampaloc in Tanay town at 12 noon.
They first lit a candle and offered prayers to their fallen colleagues: Captain Christian Paul Litan, Airman First Class Joseph De Leon, and Staff Sergeant Byron Tolosa.
Another crew member was injured and was taken to the Armed Forces of the Philippines Medical Center in Quezon City.
The investigating team took photos of the UH-1D helicopter, specifically the pilot seat and cyclic stick control.
The report said the investigators were looking into the weather conditions when the helicopter crashed, dangerous elements in the area, condition of the machine, and pilot error.
The military chopper had been engaged in a rescue operation training when it crashed last Thursday.
