Bummer! How come the southern helicopters are fine? Are those the danish Merlins or another type of helicopter?

There was a recent article that mentioned the investigators were alarmed to hear the pilots say they had zero oil pressure in the gearbox, or main gearbox?, before they went in.  Sorry, I can't remember the exact wording and since I am not a heli person, I'm too dumb to guess. 

They said that was why they needed to look at all of them.
