I can't even imagine how the grandparents must feel, learning that the entire family is just gone.

Helicopters can crash because the vibrations can cause things to loosen and separate. When I was in the USN they used to do turnaround inspections after 6 hours of flight time where they basically opened the bird up and checked every connection for loose parts or broken safety fasteners. Ask any helo mechanic and they will tell you.

It's sobering to see this and remember back to a large family vacation we took in Alaska with about 15 members. We went on a helicopter glacier tour and I have my father's words seared into my memory as we boarded two separate Jet Ranger helicopters: "we need to split us up, half and half". I remember asking why and being quietly told "in case a helicopter goes down, we don't lose the entire family and one parent is still there to take care of everyone."
