The investigative team probing the August 6 helicopter crash tragedy has released its official findings on the cause of the accident.

At a media briefing held on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, the team explained that the crash was triggered by a sudden downdraft and a rapid loss of altitude.

They further noted that the absence of certain critical safety tools on board may have worsened the situation.
