As it frequently happens, tragic events tend to have a comic undertone, even if of a rather macabre style. This is definitely a case:
Third Thai helo crashes while looking for bodies from two earlier accidents
A third Royal Thai Army helicopter has crashed in the same area in the west of the country in a little over a week, local news outlets have reported.I shall try to present it in sequence, since the article has muddled the story a bit:
- According to the reports, a Bell 212 'Huey' came down in Phetchaburi province...
- The Bell 212 had been dispatched to Phetchaburi province to recover the bodies of nine personnel killed when a Sikorsky S-70/UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter belonging to the army crashed on 19 July while attempting to recover those killed in an accident the previous weekend.
- On that occasion, a Bell 212 reportedly crashed in bad weather with the loss of all five on board.

Some how this reminds me of a Monty Python skit:

Yup. It fits.
Those old Hueys are dangerous in the best of times, but this sounds like a landlocked version of the Bermuda Triangle.
Yes. Especially for that general who sent these three.
