Mayo island before crashing into the sea at the foot of steep cliffs. A spokesman said a call was made that the helicopter should be dispatched after it was decided the crewman needed prompt medical attention due to the risk of septicaemia.
As the search continues - it looks increasingly likely that the helicopter collided with rocks. Sources told the Irish Independent that the wreckage recovered so far displayed no sign of 'petalling', or the outward tearing of fuselage panels, consistent with an on- board explosion. Similarly, none of the wreckage recovered has shown signs of intense heat or melting, which would have occurred if there had been an on- board electrical or fuel leak fire. The helicopter is feared to have disintegrated having failed in a landing bid at Black Rock island, some 1.
Mayo coast, or crashed directly into the sea at the base of steep cliffs. The fuselage is believed to rest on the seabed at a depth of 4. Black Rock island. Wreckage was also found on the island. Aviation and marine officials are baffled as to why no alarms were raised at 1am last Tuesday when the helicopter crashed into the sea. No mayday was received from the vastly experienced crew of Captain Dara Fitzpatrick, Mark Duffy, Paul Ormsby and Ciar. No automatic alarms were triggered by the multitude of safety devices on board the S- 9.
A. Meanwhile, search teams looking for the three crewmen have successfully mapped out a section of water where they believe the aircraft's black box recorder lies. But despite a 1. 0- hour operation preparing the 1.
Blacksod for a dive and underwater robot operation, large swells expected today could hamper progress. The operation will be led by Commissioner of Irish Lights (CIL) vessel Granuaile. The vessel is designed to operate in difficult sea conditions and is also equipped with a heavy- lift crane capable of handling 2. The S- 9. 2A is just over half the maximum lift weight of the Granuaile's crane at 1. Granuaile is also equipped with a Remotely Operated Vehicle submersible which, given the difficult and dangerous conditions, will initially be used instead of divers. Irish Coast Guard official Declan Geoghegan said they hoped to make progress over the next 7.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny, who attended Capt Fitzpatrick's funeral on Saturday, will today visit volunteers and families.
Key deer - Wikipedia. The Key deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium) is an endangereddeer that lives only in the Florida Keys. It is a subspecies of the white- tailed deer (O. It is the smallest North American deer. Description. Adult males (known as bucks) usually weigh 2. Adult females (does) usually weigh between 2.
The deer is a reddish- brown to grey- brown in color. Antlers are grown by males and shed between February and March and regrown by June. When the antlers are growing, they have a white velvet coating.
The species otherwise generally resembles other white- tailed deer in appearance. Behavior. The deer are often found in residents' yards and along roadsides where tasty plants and flowers grow. This often results in car- to- deer collisions, as the deer are more active (and harder to avoid) at night. It is not unusual to see them at dusk and dawn. Breeding occurs all year, but peaks in October and December.
Territorial activity is limited to defending a receptive doe from other bucks. Longevity records are 9 years for males and 7 years for females. Adult females form loose matriarchal groups with one or two generations of offspring, while bucks feed and bed together only during the nonbreeding season. Key deer use all islands during the wet season when drinking water is more generally available, retreating to islands with a perennial supply of fresh water in dry months. Key deer inhabit nearly all habitats within their range, including pine rocklands, hardwood hammocks, mangroves, and freshwater wetlands. The species feed on over 1.
Pine rockland habitat is important, as well, because it is often the only reliable source of fresh drinking water (Key deer can tolerate drinking only mildly brackish water). Habitat destruction due to human encroachment cause many deer to feed on non- native ornamental plants. History. The earliest known written reference to Key deer comes from the writings of Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda, a Spanish sailor shipwrecked in the Florida Keys and captured by Native Americans in the 1. This, besides habitat loss, is the main reason why they have become endangered. Endangered status. Hunting them was banned in 1. The National Key Deer Refuge, a federally administered National Wildlife Refuge operated by the Wildlife Service, was established in 1.
Recent population estimates put the population between 7. Road kills from drivers on US 1, which traverses the deer's small range, are also a major threat, averaging between 1. However, the population has made an encouraging rise since 1.
Still, recent human encroachment into the fragile habitat and the deer's relatively low rate of reproduction point to an uncertain future for the species. Screw worm infestation. The Screw worm is a fly larva that enters an open wound of a live animal and eats the flesh of the animal from within, leading to a gruesome death. The female flies mate once in their life so the infestation can be battled by introducing sterile flies to the population, causing the females to die out without laying any more larvae. Efforts are also being made to fence in healthy sections of the population to keep them from infested areas. The question is whether or not the infestation can be contained and eradicated in time to save the species. Not all of the refuge lands are protected as public lands; despite extensive efforts of the refuge to purchase these private habitat lands for protection in the refuge, about 5,0.
About 1,0. 00 acres (4. Big Pine Key and No Name Key, which are the central population areas for the deer.
In 2. 00. 6, a Habitat Conservation Plan was enacted by Monroe County and the US Fish and Wildlife Service which will limit development in primary habitat and provide for additional habitat purchases over the next 1. At the end of this period, however, most of the 1,0.
Big Pine and No Name Keys will still be open for further development. Thus, while the short term promises some cushion from extinction, the long- term prospects for the deer remain in doubt. A portion of US Route 1 was also elevated in 2. However, no decrease in total traffic deaths has been seen. The National Key Deer Refuge encourages people to help keep the Key deer wild by NOT feeding them. Feeding them acclimates them to humans and vehicles, and makes them more likely to be hit and killed by vehicles. Also, hanging around people and developed areas in higher than normal densities makes them more susceptible to diseases, dog attacks, and entanglements in human trash; all of which can lead to increased injuries or death.
