[Seth82890]

So sad. Take solace that he had a career that made him and others watching fill with joy. Without people like that in life the world would be a very dull place. Here's to the Todd Green's of this world.

[Babs092366]

Thanks Dude I thought it was a tribute and I just showed Todd's sister inlaw nice going thought we would share in better times not his death

[milkenobi]

Just a little bit of advice. If you're going to make a tribute to a person who fell to their death, don't include the footage of him falling to his death.

Idiot!

You said yourself it was the worst thing any person could see so why the frig did you include it in a 'tribute' video.

I'm sure his family has this horrible footage burned into their minds and they don't need to see it again.

[Jarrett172]

@CHOPPERGUNNERGOD86 No this was at the airshow.

[Toddinfantry]

@fedex727rj Still at it little boy. Funny how ppl like you got all the courage in the world when you are faceless, nameless and safe behind your keyboard. Would you like my address so you take the opportunity to say that to me in person? Or should I come to you? I'll even pay for your plane ticket. You really should go away you pathetic twit. Please take my challenge if you dare. Your disrespect to Todd Green and to all who come here to say a few kind words is remarkable. You need to be hurt.

[fedex727rj]

@Toddinfantry Obviously I've gotten under your skin. Mission accomplished. You act as if you knew the idiot. I don't respect idiots. You got it idiot!!

[Toddinfantry]

@fedex727rj Don't endear yourself too much dipshit, you are way to small to even be much consequence. Didn't think you would take it and I even offered to buy your ticket. Typical.

[MyCindy99]

Turn off that damn music

[mrchiefofsinners]

Please pray for the family and friends of Todd Green.

[pjezierski]

I was there both days, I also got him falling on tape, but, I stopped taping as soon as I saw him fall thru my view finder! It is NOT right to follow anyone down to his death or injury. This will be in my head for along time. RIP. Todd.

[jsDX11]

RIP

(a parachute may have been useful, todd)

[katrin261]

A lot of respect!

[Cleftyguns]

Sad to see someone die, but if you've got a wife and kid at home, you really shouldn't be doing things like this.

[AxelV5]

@Cleftyguns

I agree mate! I mean all respect to him but its kinda selfish to be doing stuff like this with a wife and kids at home

[Zash82]

"A Loving husband!" "A caring father?!!" Well, why in the world he did things like that!?!? His wife and children might be really happy about now.... :(

"stupidity is the end of the world"

RIP

[sacredbell2007]

Similar Accident in India in 1980 by a film star..His name was Jayan.

search for ' kolilakkam '

[domkij]

RIP from Poland...

but really, he finally meet his death. why he did not wear a parachute...?

[Toddinfantry]

@domkij To low altitude, chute wouldn't have opened in time.

[stratagie1]

@Toddinfantry The chute wouldn't have to deploy all it would have to do is come out the pack and slow him enough that he would live but with 2 broken legs

that said though he did try first time and couldn't get a grip on the skid so really he should have called it off there for safety but that's just my opinion

[Toddinfantry]

@stratagie1 I have only military static line jumps, so I am no chute expert. Maybe, in the 200 feet or so that he fell a chute may have done some good. I don't know, as none of us do. Ppl have fallen from great hts and lived and some fall 6' and die, who's to say. As the old saying goes...better to have it and not need it than to need it and have none. I think this was the third attempt and yes, he should have probably said enough. I appreciate and respect him for trying, even tho it killed him

[Toddinfantry]

@stratagie1 OK, a quick research burst reveals that you are quite correct. We can now put the chute question to bed. At the 200 ft alt. he should have had almost a full chute, if he pulled the cord immediately and been in a close to correct position (not leading with his back with feet at or above head level. A small reserve size chute would have deployed enough to maybe save his life. The research and vids are out there to find. I would think a small safety wire would have been his best bet.

[stratagie1]

@Toddinfantry But really he shouldn't have done it as he was told there where 15 knot winds and he tried first time and failed but then again he paid for his bad choices didn't he

[Toddinfantry]

@stratagie1 We all do. I will not say that his choice was wrong, he was the man that had to make that call. If he had made it, this wouldn't even be a discussion. You say you are a Marine, so you should know that sometimes Fate sticks a finger into things and sometimes you make it and sometimes you don't. I just wish the best for his family and friends, they who bear the real pain.

[stratagie1]

@Toddinfantry Yeah his poor family are the real sufferers especially with all the footage and pictures out there.

[Toddinfantry]

@stratagie1 I sure hope they don't come to these sites and see the comments that some leave. By the way, what is your MOS?

[stratagie1]

@Toddinfantry Could you friend me and send a pm for Opsec reasons

[12uniflew]

Beautiful just Beautiful thank you such a nice video well done

[Jezebellic]

RIP. He was a husband and father- I felt he should have been wearing a parachute just in case for them. But I guess that's not being a daredevil- he died what he loved doing. My thoughts are with his family.

[redzuannurhakim]

people cant fly that a fact...

and people can be way to dumb and that also a ...............fact

[MsGamercool]

so people  now you know why parachute is make for...

R.I.P Todd Green

[Arachnomen]

@MsGamercool A parachute would not have helped him much that low, you need to be higher up for it to really work and slow you down. :(

[HKGuns]

@MsGamercool

Parachutes don't work when you're only 200 feet off the ground. Your comment is inappropriate from any number of angles.

[domkij]

@HKGuns

it was over than 60 meter...

[thekid1162]

@MsGamercool

A parachute from only 200 feet would not have enough time to slow his fall. He performed the stunt several hundred times successfully. The FAA is looking into the possibility of a large bird causing the accident.

[engern]

@MsGamercool It's not much help in a parachute when you are as low as 200 ft... RIP

[stratagie1]

@engern A parachute would have slowed him enough so he be injured but alive

[jonhaldo]

@MsGamercool Takes more than 200 feet to open a parachute though. Wouldn't have helped.. RIP

[CHOPPERGUNNERGOD86]

@MsGamercool A PARACHUTE WOUDNT WORK FROM 200 FEET DUMBASS!!!!

[olympiakaras4life]

@MsGamercool I don't think a parachute would make much difference at 200 feet

[fedex727rj]

As soon as he fell he should have set full flaps, reduced airspeed and held his flareout at touchdown. He might have lived.

[Toddinfantry]

@fedex727rj Really!???! You are that much of a dick? Please remove this comment also...Dick. Or more appropriately....disrespectful dick.

[Toddinfantry]

@fedex727rj Oh I can handle the comments, what I can't handle is a dick like you thinking you are funny and you are not. I guess you are just another "it's my right to be uncivil". Ya it is your right, many have fought and died for your "right", doesn't mean you have to use it. It is called consideration. I can see you have none. By the way Dick, my mother is dead. Try growing up some would you.

[P90wn3r]

Why did you slow it down? What a waste of time.

[jmalotky]

Don't make a tribute showing his accident. That is just tasteless in my opinion.

[Gottahavethatmustang]

the thoughts that go through peoples minds seeing it on tv are oh its bad but from the first hand experience and watching it as it happened it was so traggic and i truely pray for his family friends and the pilots of both the plane and the helicopter, i can not describe how i feel except for shocked and sad R.I.P. Todd Green you were loved and will be missed

[tetracore66]

i was in the car pulling up when i saw it. RIP Todd you will be missed

[CHOPPERGUNNERGOD86]

i was there. im only ten. may he rest in peace

[CHOPPERGUNNERGOD86]

i was there. i almost through up after i watched this poor guy fall to his death.ive been praying for him and his family.if you have any questions on the accident i will be willing to answer them.may this poor man rest in peace

[ThatsSOKaitlyn]

@CHOPPERGUNNERGOD86 wasn't this in Kansas City, MO

[CHOPPERGUNNERGOD86]

@ThatsSOKaitlyn no it was in harrison township,michigan.near detroit. i was there,it was so sad

[CHOPPERGUNNERGOD86]

i was there and saw him fall. im only 10. rest in peace todd

[FTblogg]

The worst part of this clip is that awful "music", is there anybody out there that actually listen to this kind of earpollution?

[MrCarlsvideos]

i was right there when it happened iturned before he hit the ground rip

[agustinbs]

sorry but i can't see the tragedy on this, what do you expect from jumping from a helicopter to an airplane???

[CHOPPERGUNNERGOD86]

@agustinbs IT WAS SO HE COULD MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY.WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT WAS ONE OF YOUR PARENTS THAT HAD THIS JOB,THEN ONE DAY THEY FELL AND DIED?THINK ABOUT THAT BITCH

[agustinbs]

@CHOPPERGUNNERGOD86 You should read carefully what others says Troll. This is more a consequence than a tragedy. it is tragically obvious.

[Xobralvl70]

R.I.P

[maxi20cba]

Well , if you jump from a helicopter..

[CHOPPERGUNNERGOD86]

@maxi20cba He didn't jump from a helicopter, jackass!! Get a clue.... and some class.

[Tadum25]

it was incredable to see the day before and knowing he died doing what he loved. he can be happy. but the other side is why would someone do this???? R.I.P my regards to the family

[psychedelnick1]

And the Darwin award goes to.....this guy.

[Toddinfantry]

@psychedelnick1 And you are so disrespectful...why?

[psychedelnick1]

@Toddinfantry He died because he was doing something stupid. As the human race tends to do.

[Toddinfantry]

@psychedelnick1 Sorry, I can't think like that. More ppl are killed driving cars so does that make driving a car stupid? Faster yet...a race car driver, should they just stop a stupid sport? Over 1200 ppl die each year from electrocution in the home, so is electricity stupid? What you and I may think is stupid, others do not. It is not for us to be their judge. He had completed this stunt many times. He died living! We all have to die, how are you going?

[psychedelnick1]

@Toddinfantry I just died, wait no, I just fell asleep and woke back up.

[TheFalcon20pilot]

I flew over Selfridge that day. Puts knots in my stomach. RIP

[NWA1503]

@TheFalcon20pilot Were you piloting one of the F-16's?

[TheFalcon20pilot]

@NWA1503 No I wasn't in the air show. I was flying back from NYC to Pontiac in a Falcon 20 (corporate twin jet engine). We flew over the field at about 6,000 ft.

[SickAudi]

@TheFalcon20pilot how did he die? thanks

[TJOSS3M]

@SickAudi Errr...fell during one of his stunts...did you not watch the video?

[90talisten]

He fell down like a Three 6

and went down like a G6

like a G6, Like a G6

Hes feelin so fly like a G6

best song ;D

Thumbs Up!

[mcdeadly1]

i was there......i am still shocked......it was horrible. Rest in Peace, Todd Condolences to his family.

[Jarrett172]

I remember watching him the day before, he hugged his wife goodbye hopped on the plane and taxied out with a big smile on his face waving to everybody, It's sad to see this happen to someone.

[CHOPPERGUNNERGOD86]

@Jarrett172 do you live by him or something?



[85iceman]

Nice tribute.

[gmaconnie]

Great video tribute. We were there the day before and were amazed at his braveness. May he rest in peace.

[23firstlady]

Nice tribute to someone who died doing what he loved to do. Condolences to the family. To those of you who want the "full video" ...that's just sick curiosity.

[tireurVISION]

@23firstlady Indeed, but I don't consider "sick curiosity" a bad thing. Some would just be interested.

[Maxpow33r]

Looked like a pretty dangerous stunt....

[kokowawa337]

RIP but ultimately he killed him self by him self

[fancyanna330]

I'm sorry, How can this be a proper tribute to the man if your showing his fall. People don't need to see that to know what happened. The investigation is still under way to piece together that tragic moment. The officials didn't want this material online. If you wanted a tribute to him and to respect his life, you would have turned in a copy of that video to the sheriff and kept that scene out of the tribute.

[volcomskater1130]

i was there.............



[mastouris69]

RIP for a stuntman?no,no,no,i think he cant rest,hewill do this stuff even in Paradise to entertain others

[kokowawa337]

@mastouris69 lol

[b1cc2]

Why does everyone post an edited version? Upload the full video.

[AutopsyReport22]

I don't feel sorry for this man. Anyone stupid enough to do this stunt w/out any safety or backup devices had a death wish. Feel sorry for people whose lives were taken from them not their own doing. The man indirectly committed suicide.

[dalewormheart3704]

He would have jumped out of that plane sooner if he had to listen to this song.

[Eldererr]

He died doing what he loved. How many can do that?

[LaylatalQadr]

I live about a half hour from the base and i went yesterday to the air show and they closed the base down. i saw a video on my news of him falling that was bad. feel bad

[breebree12811]

Sorrry for your loss this was so scarryy!!

[Icecycie1]

I was there, It was horrible, May he rest in peace.

[chidding]

Wife.. Kids.. and still the stupidity to put his life at risk just for what? the entertaining of a few poeple at an air show.. This doesnt make him a hero.. this makes him stupid..

[221SanAndreas]

@chidding your just a fucking cunt it was his way of life whether hes entertaining ten people or ten thousand thats his job and you have no right to say that you fucking asshole

[loriwright241978]

i was there but luckely i was walking around with my kids and they did not see it. however my 11 year old son is very sensitive when someone gets hurt or dies it took about 45 minutes for him to process what happened then he broke down and cried. on the way home we found out that he had died and he sat really quiet cobered his face and cried. i was also at the 1994 show when the plane crashed my thoughts and prayers go out to all the airshow preformers that have lost their lives this year

[Ausm70]

That's why people shouldn't perform life threatening stunt.

[Toddinfantry]

@Ausm70 Life is a "life threatening stunt", so go crawl back into your nice warm bed, pull the covers over your head and hide from life.

[shotpointblank7]

I was at the air show today when this happened, its so sad...r.i.p. Todd Green

My Prayers For him and his entire family.

[naomicorera]

My family was at the airshow today as well. We did not witness the tragedy as we were inside a plane touring it, however we found out about it and were very saddened by this loss. God be with his family!

[gman67able]

I was also there today and its just horrible, hopefully his family and friends can find peace . It takes a special kind of person to do what he did, His family should be very proud of what he has accomplished. Godbless

[stigma182]

Omg...This is so tragic. What a wonderful tribute this is. My prayers go out to his family and friends. Godbless! 

[xboxlivers]

Wow I was at the show when this happened and don't know until I just saw it now

[Ambicadu]

I thank you as well for this tribute. My sons and I were standing just to the left of where these photos were taken. It was difficult to witness. The airshow staff played quiet bagpipe music for sometime afterward out of respect but without making any statements. Which I also thought was well done and commend them for. Rest in peace Todd.

[pamalax]

The video and pictures here were taken by my 14yo son as we attended todays airshow. Please know this video, all three of us saddened and horrified by the tragedy we witnessed, was made as tribute with respect, affection and our heartfelt prayers for Mr Green and his family.

You did a lovely job with this video.

Thanks both from me and your dad.

[babsjk50]

How tragic and sad. Our prayers and condolences are with his family. 

[mmm5288]

Thank you for such a respectful video. Such a tragedy for this to happen and my prayers go out to his wife and son.
