<b>5 questions about the crash</b>
B.Raman<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->n any enquiry into the mishap to YSR's helicopter, the following questions may have to be addressed:
-Do the security rules on board VIP planes and helicopters require that the mobile phones of security officers will also be switched off as the other passengers are required to do?
-If so, is there any independent means of communications with the security officers available in addition to the communication equipment of the plane or helicopter?
-If not, how to ensure that the security officers have an independent and secure means of communications with their headquarters instead of having to depend on the equipment of the aircraft or helicopter?
-What is the present communications protocol with the security officer or officers on board with the VIP?
-Is there any need for revising it in the light of the experience with YSR's chopper?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well forget about communication issue within crashed planes, Rescue planes are also missing communication system, what a pathetic situation in this era.
