RAF Chinook pilot lands after being shot in the head

[supernaturalfx]

HERO, godbless the RAF and brave pilots that have the courage to fly in to hot lz's HERO! support all our soldiers these pilots are as brave and skilled as the men on the ground..( like keeping control of a blow out in your car at 120 mph with your best mates onboard) ...and he is just doing his job.

[J1I9M7M4Y]

Only in a Chinook.. And with one stone cold brit at the controls!

[InvictusSpiritus]

"Ok chaps, just to let you know, I've just taken a round to the head. Don't panic, the other half of my brain is still intact. Luckily for you, it's the part which deals with understanding and operating complex machinery."

[AlexSDU]

I believe this footage was from Frontline Battle Machines.

Enjoyed the show pretty much. How much episodes were there actually?

[BFloverhateCOD]

once again helmet saves life

[Vikiloulou1991uk]

hoping to be a medic for the army next year :D 

[Blackscorpy]

@Vikiloulou1991uk Might want to watch a film called "ICRC War Surgery" here on Youtube. Has some, ehhhh, interesting footage. Goes beyond the basic medic stuff somewhat, but... worth a look.

[firecapt57]

They all are a special breed of Men. My son just got back from Afghanistan and he spent a lot of time on the chinook, Courage is better demonstrated, not stated. Hoorah!

[bullseatpizza]

Balls of solid titanium i tell you! I think if he had been shot then the co-pilot would have taken over but thankful this was not the outcome!

[EarthsBiggestBender]

Wouldn't the FO just take over?

[trident130977]

This Chinook pilot must be awarded with the Victoria Cross for bravery!!!

[SmedleyDouwright]

I hope Mike sent the Pilot a case of beer when he could.

[DeludedAlbatross]

War is complete and utter shit, what a immature horrible way to solve problems especially in this age, what are we beasts of death and blood? And soldiers support it, fuck them, BUT i can support the soldiers noble and passion for his homeland even if it is irrational.

[EMERALDanimations]

@DeludedAlbatross Actually yes. We are beasts of death and blood. A long time ago we killed to survive,we still do it now. Of course,every creature/beast has blood in them. The answer to your question; Yes.

[DeludedAlbatross]

@EMERALDanimations Well fight your malevolent nature and rise above it, because you can, we have before.

[MBDmediaman]

Was this pilot up for a VC, the Victoria Cross? I saw the headline months ago and it is one astounding rescue with a major injury, which is an understatement.

[TheAguyfromcanada]

lol "bit of a crack and a little bit of blood there"

[210482fmj]

it must really suck to have to do this kind of stuff in life just to earn a living which is the main reason people do any job in life.

[BDFPA]

@210482fmj wtf? why would he apply to become a pilot if he didn't want to do it? Just like infantry? He, like everyone else WANTS to be there. I loved being in infantry from 05-10. Afghanistan was brilliant.

[ultimatecarsounds]

Is that the guy from Wheeler Dealer? He got fat.

[ryandi2011]

what a fucking pilot

[DEMONshot666]

bamf

[cadian14758]

Hey all. Posted a new video up about the mission that lead to the death of Osama Bin Laden. (Its block in the UK, Ireland and Guernsey unfortunately.)

[KingsofSparta]

@cadian14758 the reason its blocked is because we dont care and dont have any time for that bastard.

[slipknot3597]

if this is all real and shit how come they got cameras outside and all like filming from the ground LMAO

[cadian14758]

@slipknot3597 They edited different footage from the actual event, and helicopters leaving/landing at the base. If you dont believe its real google 'raf pilot shot in head'.

[jugs554433]

@slipknot3597 lol you must be retarded

[masteruvme]

@slipknot3597 They were doing a documentary about life of British troops

[J1I9M7M4Y]

@slipknot3597 If you take a look at the upper left corner of the video screen, even you should get a hint.. *doh*

[slipknot3597]

@slipknot3597

[ieatatoms]

What a man! - "OK chaps, just to let you know..."

[dally5555]

respect

[TheMidnightBanana]

the 1 dislike is from the guy that shot him

[Pysgod13]

lucky guy.....

[ryanisback007]

Respect to the pilot! well done lads. May God be always be you and to protect you!

[Baconmaster92]

He had extremely good luck, The bullet didnt hit him directly

[cadian14758]

Just a quick message. If you comment with anything linked to Call Of Duty, your comment will be removed, and you will be blocked. This video could have ended differently if the bullet had been an inch lower. Be respectful.

[minivz99]

@cadian14758 i know i was surching stuff like this guys are brave...very brave cod can suck it its unrealistic

[KingKimwer]

@cadian14758 what about battlefield, or arma, those are games too

[cadian14758]

@KingKimwer Most battlefield players are more mature, and arma is a combat sim, so again most people are more mature. The majority of references are from COD games.

[KingKimwer]

@cadian14758 i dont see how theyre more mature, but i get it. as much as i like cod, the references are annoying. but no matter whether its cod or arma, you'll never know how a soldier feels unless you become one.

[cadian14758]

@KingKimwer Battlefield not so much, but with ArmA most players have an serious interest in the military, and not just an interest in action films etc. They seem to have more respect for serving soldiers compared to COD players (mostly the younger players)

[KingKimwer]

@cadian14758 have u met some of the people that play arma? lol so many of my friends play it, but they dont take military seriously. but im not gonna go of topic here. i respect these soldiers too much.

[gameaddictsreview]

that guy should get a god damn medal

[Arsen1c42]

@yocheco619 Fuck you retard. 

[CzechEmancipator]

Respect! Oorah!

[IAmCanadianUK]

[dom86juve]

Good Man.

[pk1was]

The British Military = The Best

So proud of them all

[cadian14758]

@yocheco619 Yes it was probably an AK, but this is real life, damage isnt measured in a percentage...

[blocko44]

Well done that pilot, top man indeed, hope you are ok. Also to the medics working in the back on the wounded on that hairy flight back to base,hope you are all ok.

[planes1997]

this is what all the training is about. these are brave men and they are known for this they have done. may the good be with them for now and forever more even after he has passed to the other side!

[Bandersnatchable]

Love how fucking calm he was

[rodolphorgcf]
