What kind of helicopter flies with an open door for God's sake? :lol: It was too obvious that they were trying to show us the moving body inside the helicopter.
Two approaches to the problem of accessing and measuring the kinematics of individual anatomical structures in the foot have been taken, (i) static and dynamic cadaver models, and (ii) invasive in-vivo research. Cadaver models offer the advantage that there is complete access to all the tissues of the foot, but the cadaver must be manipulated and loaded in a manner which replicates how the foot would have performed when in-vivo. The key value of invasive in-vivo foot kinematics research is the validity of the description of foot kinematics, but the key difficulty is how generalisable this data is to the wider population.
Through these techniques a great deal has been learnt. We better understand the valuable contribution mid and forefoot joints make to foot biomechanics, and how the ankle and subtalar joints can have almost comparable roles. Variation between people in foot kinematics is high and normal. This includes variation in how specific joints move and how combinations of joints move. The foot continues to demonstrate its flexibility in enabling us to get from A to B via a large number of different kinematic solutions.
Calcaneocuboid fusion with lengthening of the lateral column of the foot has been advocated as a method of treating flatfoot deformity. This study was designed to determine how the length of the lateral column chosen or the position of the foot selected when performing this fusion affect hindfoot kinematics in normal cadaver feet. An electromagnetic tracking system was used to monitor the positions of the talus, calcaneus, navicular, and cuboid while the intact cadaver feet were moved passively and then under reproducible loads. Calcaneocuboid fusion was then performed on these feet first with the feet in neutral position and the lateral column of normal length, then lengthened 10 mm or shortened 5 mm, and then with the lateral column lengthened 10 mm and the feet positioned in plantar flexion and eversion or dorsiflexion and inversion. Kinematic measurements were made at each stage using the same loads. Fusing the calcaneocuboid joint with lengthening or shortening the lateral column and the feet in neutral position did not affect hindfoot joint motion compared with intact. Changing the position of the foot for fusion, however, resulted in significant decreases in motion in the talocalcaneal and talonavicular joints. Tibiotalar joint motion was unaffected. This study, therefore, demonstrates that when fusing the calcaneocuboid joint, attention should be paid to maintaining a neutral position of the foot.

I have seen other footage of LASD Rescue 5 chopper rides when they had the door wide open, too.My first thought in Michael's footage was also "why for heaven's sake?" but they seem to enjoy rides like that in L.A. Appears to be a local pleasure to fly door open.[youtube:oz2fl9a4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSRp96Ep0K8&feature=related[/youtube:oz2fl9a4]You are not allowed to view links.

A good friend of mine who's a nurse says that in the helicopter transport, "when somebody dies they don't die with their feet totally erect. If you look at that body the feet are straight up."

If we are saying it is a dummy, then that means the people in the helicopter know about the hoax as well...everyone who came in contact with the body from the helicopter to the Coroner.
Quote from: "MJhasSpoken"If we are saying it is a dummy, then that means the people in the helicopter know about the hoax as well...everyone who came in contact with the body from the helicopter to the Coroner.I don't follow this logic at all. It's wrapped in a sheet. They're not going to go poking around in it if they're under the impression that it's a corpse. So long as "the body" has the right weight and dimensions, no one involved in the helicopter scene would suspect a thing.
Thats a strong possibility...another possibility is they could have been told it was a dummy serving as a distraction while the "real" body was being transported by van or some other method. In this case they would know it was a dummy, but would not suspect that Michael was alive. It sure would explain the disrespectful way they plopped the body onto the strecher. :evil:
I think we're a step ahead here. I agree that there would be a risk that the helicopter people would take a peek, but if they are not involved, it doesn't mean they didn't transport a dummy or even a living person (who can sit up). They might have told them that MJ would be transported in another way for safety reasons, and that they needed to take a dummy/other person with them to distract the media. They positioned the body in the wrong place anyway, on the chairs for the crew instead of the stretcher, so we already know they didn't transport a real dead body.I think we should focus on the ambulance first. Who was in the house, who was in the ambulance and who knows?
