Whenever a helicopter went down in South Vietnam, an investigative team was sent to examine the site and to 
recover parts such as engines and transmissions.  Investigators attempted to learn
the roles of human error and mechanical failure. 
This Chinook, flown by 2 U.S. Army pilots, had been transporting 55 specially 
trained ARVN Rangers and their equipment. The final report concluded this Chinook had been 
overloaded.
