Farewell photo before the crash

Yesterday, during the filming of the Southern Port "safely" drowned in the Moskva River helicopter camera Canon 5D mark II, the lens Canon EF 16-35 II, with which Ilya Varlamov and Dmintry Chistoprudov filmed wonderful panorama of Moscow and its environs. Preliminary damage is estimated at 500,000 rubles. Now all that lies at a depth of 6 meters, visibility is not there, but a lot of scrap metal and debris, divers said they will not get ...

UPD: Now about the helicopter. It is well with the camera at a depth of 5 meters. We found the divers who are ready to help 10 000 rubles per hour. The Port Authority is going through a bit of fear that divers remain with the helicopter. Freight offered to build a semblance of the trawl, we scour the bottom, but caught nothing. Tomorrow they promised to increase its length to 50 !!! meters and walk on the bottom of the two boats.

The camera and the lens can not be recovered, the helicopter can be partially restored, but first it must be raised. We took a decision in principle to collect the new device, it will take about 3 months. The reason for the fall: allegedly broke down the main gear, flew to the rotation, but to hold on to the shore is not enough height. In carrying out flights over the water, we decided to play it safe and after each session threw off photos on the PC. You can see pictures from the last successful flight, now the photos from the air will not be long - the next couple of months will go to the assembly of the new helicopter.
