The crash of the army's Bell 212 helicopter in Phetchaburi's Kaeng Krachan district on Sunday morning was apparently caused by an engine trouble, unlike the crashes of a Huey helicopter on July 16 and a Black Hawk on July 19 which were caused by bad weather.The army use helicopters to airlift the dead bodies from crash sites in the Kaeng Krachan National Park because it would take many many days to do so on foot in rugged terrains and bad weather.The Bell 212 which crashed was put in commission in 1992 or 19 years ago. As other army's aircrafts, the Bell 212 had been well maintained before use, Gen Prayuth said.
