Welp the pilot is nice and safe! No problem there, he knew to unbuckle his harness and climb ON TOP of the chopper to stay warm and dry while his passengers were left to fend for themselves below.
The guy obviously knew those people were strapped into their tomb and would either drown or freeze to death. This genuine hero would not dare risk his safety for these scrubs. Honorable man of the year!!
Reminds me of the A-hole captain of the Costa Concordia cruise ship who was the first guy on the life raft while his boat sank with everybody on board, never mind that the ship ran aground because he was busy partying

You never know how you will react in that situation. It's fight or flight.
Not sure how complicated it is to unbuckle the seat belts but they should have a quick release in emergency situations.
Did the pilot sit on top of the helicopter while the passangers drowned? or did the helicopter sink to the bottom and the pilot was floating in the water?
I was actually thinking of taking a helicopter to the airport for fun on my next vacation.

He got on top while they were strapped inside and just waited as the 5 tourists became hypothermic
Yeah. Apparently, they were harnessed in pretty tightly and in an upside down position that made it harder for the first responders to release them. What a frustrating situation that must've been in freezing cold temps no less. Two didn't make it with the remaining three in critical condition the last time I checked.
Why would they not unbuckle and try to escape once the blades stoped spinning?? I dont get it. It was a soft crash, did they get knocked out from that??

When you have kids at home and you crash a chopper, you think for yourself. That right there is a survivor. Ill take that any day over being dead and called a hero while my kids grow up without a kid.
