A Bell-407 helicopter operated by Aryan Aviation crashes near Gaurikund.
✅ All 7 on board killed — including a child.
Cause: Dense fog. No ATC. No radar. No real-time weather support.

This is the 5th chopper crash in 39 days on the Kedarnath route.
Pilots were flying blind- relying on eyesight, not instruments.

🔍 What failed?

* No radar-based navigation
* No on-ground visibility control
* No coordinated air traffic
* Weak regulations

📂 FIR filed for culpable homicide. DGCA + AAIB inquiry ongoing.
🛑 Helicopter services suspended on Char Dham route for 2 days.

📢 But here’s the big question:
Is this just a crash - or a complete systemic failure?
