What: Spanish Navy Agusta-Bell 212ASW
Where: Fond Verrettes area, about 50km from Port-Au-Prince Haiti
When: April 16, 2010 10:30
Who: 4 on board. No survivors.
Why: One of a detachment of four Spanish Navy Agusta-Bell 212ASW helicopters assigned to the Spanish navy amphibious ship Castilla crashed in a sparsely populated remote
rugged location called Mount Toro. The helicopter, which is part of an independent detachment is said not to be part of the 400+ Spanish soldiers engaged in Haiti’s recovery and reconstruction efforts, reportedly struck trees and slammed into the ground before catching fire. The rugged terrain is reportedly hampering recovery.
