Erin Woodfine’s father, Bernard (Copper) Murphy, was one of the men who died in the Universal Helicopters crash in Placentia Bay in 1985. It was Mike Cunningham, Chaulk's boss at the TSB.

In cars, on planes, in autopsy suites, men did the math: one survivor, one deceased, sixteen missing.

“I’m expressing what everyone needs to know. "That's when we knew we were on the right track," Allan Chaulk says. All had drowned. Next, he had to determine the cause and manner of death. IT WAS HARTBREAKING TO SAY THE LEAST. He can also remember going to the wreckage yard where his father's plane was kept after it was recovered from the ocean.

Gary Freeman Fowlow of Torbay, said it’s uncanny how the crashes were only one day in the difference. Thank you for this article. Death was magical then. The manner would be how that bullet got there. The ship returned to the crash site the next day, and the men in the windowless container managed to recover the remaining seven passengers — Chaulk had been conservative in his earlier counting — as well as the helicopter's black box.

Once, it had taken him a week to find what he was looking for, and that was in the relatively narrow confines of a bay. Ten years later, in 1991, Owen hired Cunningham to work as an investigator at the TSB. My mother still stays in contact with family members that lost loved ones as well. For survivors, there will be no facts.


Trailing its umbilical cord, it couldn't scan the bottom in sweeps or loops for risk of tangles. Even the best answer men will fail them.

Cunningham put himself in the cockpit once again. “It’s ironic really, that crash on March 12 and Universal the next day,” she said. Mike Cunningham has a widow's imagination. Then they saw something alien waiting for them on the bottom of the cold ocean, a twisted mess of metal and cable and blade. Mike Cunningham, already named the investigator in charge of the incident, had made plans to fly to St. John's that afternoon; Allan Chaulk was driving from the ferry dock to Dartmouth, where he could catch a flight to St. John's first thing the next morning; Rob Manuel was busy trying to determine the actual number of passengers on board; Simon Avis worked to vacate and clean the metal slabs in the tiled room next to his office.
