A Dutch military NH-90 Italian build helicopter crashed near Aruba on Sunday. Two soldiers, 34-year-old pilot Christine Martens and 33-year-old tactical coordinator Erwin Warnies, were killed in the crash landing.
The Commander of the Armed Forces Rob Bauer confirmed on Monday. The cause of the accident is not yet clear. However, inside information revealed that disrupted electronic behavior was probably the cause of the crash.
The helicopter was doing a Coast Guard patrol and was on route to Curacao when it crashed. Four people were on board. The two survivors sustained no serious injury, Bauer said.
Attempts were made to resuscitate the two soldiers, but it was to no avail. Their relatives have been informed and Defense wishes them a lot of strength in this time, Bauer said.
The military and political relations with Venezuela are deteriorating at a fast pace, with the Dutch government in The Hague controlling the buttons in these foreign affairs.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Defense Minister Ank Bijleveld expressed their condolences. “I think that everyone is shocked at Defense, in the Netherlands. We sympathize with family and loved ones.
Truly terrible news, Rutte said to RTL Nieuws. He also published a statement on Twitter, saying that he is deeply moved by the sad news of the crash that took the lives of two soldiers. My thoughts go out to their families and friends. I wish them lots of strength in this sad time.
Today I received the terrible news that two of our soldiers have died. My condolences to their family. We are all deeply affected,” Bijleveld said on Twitter.
The Defense Ministry also opened a public online condolence registry for anyone wanting to write a message about the deaths of Martens and Warnies.
A Coast Guard helicopter and a team of divers will help to salvage the crashed aircraft, giving priority to retrieving the black box. The crashed helicopter was stationed on the Zr.MS Groningen, currently docked in Curacao.
After a Dutch military investigation team arrived in Curacao, the ill-fated helicopter disappeared into the waves and sunk to the bottom of the Caribbean Sea near the coast of Venezuela.

The F-UK-US coalition and the Dutch military have been crossing into the Venezuelan territorial waters several times now. Earlier Russian electronic warfare proved to have halted all operations on a US aircraft carrier near the coast of England and also to a US destroyer in the Black Sea.

Was dus het Venezolaanse luchtruim in gevlogen en dus neergehaald, want volgens eerdere berichten was de crash geen fout van de piloot?
