Help us STOP the pollution of fragile Hawaii

In 2011 a helicopter crash contaminated a stretch of land on Molokai. Nearly five years later, big business & insurance agencies are still covering it up.

When a Blue Hawaiian tour helicopter crashed on Molokai, local residents had no idea that the company and their insurance agent, Allianz, would leave the debris and contaminants to "just wash down the hill." Help us tell these corporate polluters to clean up their mess.

The following is a harrowing experience which I have tried to be as concise as possible. A lot of time and money on everyone’s part has been wasted on trying to get Allianz Insurance and Blue Hawaiian Helicopters to do the legal and morally correct thing. This is the summary of an example how a helicopter company and a big German insurance company deceived and tried to bully a small landowner.

On November 11th 2010 a Blue Hawaiian site seeing helicopter tour crashed and killed all souls aboard. The helicopter crashed in the middle of a jeep trail that is used by the owner and many locals to hike and hunt the area. After the crash the landowner waited for contact from the insurance company Allianz or Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Company to find out what the protocol on a matter like this was. No communication was ever received. The landowner realized that people had perished and knew that there must be certain procedures that must be followed and it was a devastating crash so he waited to be contacted. After not being contacted, the landowner contacted Dave Chevalier of Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Company. Dave Chavalier told the landowner to contact their insurance company - Allianz Insurance.

During this whole time, the landowner made numerous attempts to find out what the protocol was for a circumstance like this. He left messages for Timothy McSwain the Chief Claims Officer with Allianz Aviation at the head office in New York .The landowners’ attorney also called but received no call back.

The landowner contacted Allianz insurance....

A must read for anyone who does business with Allianz. Know who you are doing business with or investing in.

Gerald Feldman's history of the internationally prominent insurance corporation Allianz AG in the Nazi era is based largely on new or previously unavailable archival sources, making this a more accurate account of Allianz and the men who directed its business than was ever before possible. Feldman takes the reader through varied cases of collaboration and conflict with the Nazi regime with fairness and a commitment to informed analysis, touching on issues of damages in the Pogrom of 1938, insuring facilities used in forced labor camps, and the problems of denazification and restitution. The broader issues examined in this study--when cooperation with Nazi policies was compulsory and when it was complicit, the way in which profit, ideology, and opportunism played a role in corporate decision making, and the question of how Jewish insurance assets were expropriated--are particularly relevant today given the ongoing international debate about restitution for Holocaust survivors. This book joins a growing body of scholarship based on open access to the records of German corporations in the Nazi era. Gerald D. Feldman is Professor of History at the University of California at Berkeley. His book, The Great Disorder (Oxford, 1993) received the DAAD Book Prize of the German Historical Association and the Book Prize for Central European History from the American Historical Association. He was an invited expert at the London Gold Conference in December 1997 and at the U.S. Conference on Holocaust Assets in Washington, D.C. in December 1998 and served as an advisor to the Presidential Commision on Holocaust Assets in the United States...Buy Book

McCaskill Launches Inquiry Into Air Ambulance And Insurer Balance Billing.

Recently the Florida Association of Health Plans, Inc.

Thanks to the Florida Legislature’s recognition that this practice was financially ruinous and overly burdensome on Florida families, a law was passed in 2016 that effectively eliminated balance billing for most medical bills...Read More

Customer fuming over 'bait-and-switch' travel insurance

The travel insurance indicated that it would cover trip cancellation, travel delay and trip interruption. The trip was going to cost over $3,500, so we felt the insurance was vital.
The flight on United to Panama City was excellent, and our time in the country went well until we were about to return. We learned the day before of a snowstorm on the East Coast and the cancellation of our Saturday flight back to Newark.
Efforts to contact United via phone were futile, as tens of thousands of people were affected and United did not have the staff to answer telephone calls from passengers without Elite status. Efforts by the hotel staff in Panama to contact United also failed. We quickly booked a hotel in Panama for the Saturday night stay and contacted my father, who has been flying United for over 55 years and has Gold status....Read More

Burning issue with Allianz as it rejects modest claim for travel essentials

In September my partner and I went on holiday to Gran Canaria. On the second day, while we were out walking with only minimal belongings, our hotel was engulfed by a huge forest fire. We were unable to return as the police had closed the roads, or to contact the hotel by phone (the line was down). We managed to get through to the hotel group headquarters in Madrid, which told us to go to another hotel. They were unable to say if our luggage had survived the fire, and our plans had to change significantly.
As we had nothing with us we had to buy essentials – underwear, hairbrush, phone charger. After three days we got our smoky and dirty, but unharmed, luggage back.....Read More

Allianz Sold Dud to Customer

It is tempting to wonder why a person might pay more than $6000 for insurance cover that was capped at a maximum payout of $6000 – or why someone would buy an insurance policy under which they were never eligible to make a claim.
But the real question should be why a company would treat its own customers that way by selling them such a policy? There can be no justification for such behaviour. Unfortunately, ASIC has found these practices are all too common in the add-on insurance sector – and we are determined to see them disappear. Too many consumers have simply not understood what they were being sold. We have commenced a two-stage strategy of seeking large-scale customer compensation, while also working with the industry to improve its performance...Read More

Insurance Companies Claim They’ve Gone Clean, But Still Invest Billions in Polish Coal

European insurance companies are still investing billions of euros in dirty coal power plants, despite pledges to stop supporting the industry.
Six insurance giants including Axa, Generali, and Allianz have around €1.3 billion invested in Poland’s coal power plants — the dirtiest form of power production — through subsidiary businesses such as pension funds, research by campaign group Unfriend Coal has found.
One of the six companies, Aviva, has over 30 million customers in the UK, and is the second largest investor in Polish coal — with €421 million invested in the industry. A previous DeSmog UK investigation revealed the company also continues to invest in tar sands companies through its subsidiaries....Read More

NTSB Faults Pilot in Fatal 2011 Blue Hawaiian Crash

The NTSB is faulting the pilot for the fatal air tour crash of a Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Airbus EC130B4 that went down in heavy rain and limited visibility on the island of Molokai on Nov. 10, 2011. The crash killed pilot Nathan Cline and his four passengers. However, lawyer Ladd Sanger of the Texas firm of Slack & Davis, who represented the family of Canadian crash victim Stuart Robertson, also alleges that Blue Hawaiian’s pilot training was deficient and that Cline’s checkride of Molokai had been “pencil-whipped.” Blue Hawaiian settled with the Robertsons last March....Read More

A View of the Devastation

Nearly five years after the crash of a Blue Hawaiian helicopter, the site of the accident is still littered with debris from the crash and contaminants.

After years of pleading with both Blue Hawaiian Helicopters and their insurer, Allianz, a local resident has had to file suit against the company. At issue is the damage and contamination caused by the accident and the negligent behavior demonstrated by the businesses responsible for the pollution. Contamination at the site includes:

Aloha.. I live on the island of Molokai. I have lived here my entire life. I am the filmmaker that made the video about the helicopter crash. I chose to help produce the video because the helicopter tour industry is negatively impacting our daily lives here on Molokai. The constant buzzing of low flying helicopters in some of our most isolated and spiritual places has great impact not only on our well being, but also on the quality of experience to the visitors that come to our island and who support our local businesses. Furthermore, the industry, based on Maui island, gives nothing back to our Molokai community or economy. The fact that Blue Hawaiian did not properly cleanup its crash site only adds insult to injury. I hope that the helicopter company is held to its responsibility in properly cleaning up its crash. I also hope that greater attention will be placed on the negative impacts of this industry and that new policies, such as no-fly zones/times might be considered.

To ALL Big Corporations in Hawaii: You have the power to be part of the solution to keep Hawaii the Paradise it is. Littering is against the law. Clean up your own mess. Do the Right Thing.

I always tried to avoid consumerism and to minimize my ecological foodprint. And I wondered why Hawaii, isle of happiness and self-sufficiency, kept silent under modern civilization.

Cleaning up the contaminated soil and debris from the crashed helicopter is the least you should be doing! How rude and irresponsible! Desecrating the land, along with the memory of the people who died! Ignoring the dictates of decency and justice makes you appear mean, greedy, and heartless!
