Weather and overweight killed Tin Oo

Weather and overweight killed Tin Oo? 

According to a Thai Burmese watcher, Rangoon appeared to have concluded that the helicopter crash on 19 February that killed 2 top generals was due to adverse weather and overweight, and not through sabotage. 

He said some Russian mechanical experts have arrived since last month to examine all the MI-17 helicopters sold to Rangoon. "Since then, the air force high command has been repeatedly issuing directives to all their airbases scattered throughout the country instructing them to pay attention to two things: the weather and not to overload the helicopter". 

The unexpected crash on the Salween on 19 February resulted in 9 dead 8 missing. Among the dead were Lt.-Gen. Tin Oo, No:4 top man, and Maj.-Gen Sit Maung, commander, Southeastern Regional Command. Only 12 survived the crash, among whom was Lt.-Gen Win Myint, Secretary 3.
