"They cut security", accuses Alain Vastine
According to a source familiar with the matter, the production company is accused of having underestimated the budget allocated to air resources, of having had the pilots and helicopters ultimately involved in the crash selected on mainly financial criteria, detriment of personal safety.
"They cut security, they took the cheapest pilots and helicopters that were not suitable for that. There were 10 deaths. These people only think about money", accuses Alain Vastine.

"I hope they will be doomed"
Several compensation procedures are in progress in France and the production company ALP has already been condemned several times for "inexcusable fault".
Joined by AFP, ALP lawyers recall that the company "remains presumed innocent" and that "it is in no way an admission of guilt".
"I hope they will be condemned", affirms Alain Vastine, who adds: "Still after six years, each birthday makes us think of our children. It breaks a life, nothing is the same."
