  • Even despite the grainy video, you could see the whole fuselage oscillating before the failure. I'd like to think I would have set down at that point.

  • Thanks what the pilot has the helmet or the pilot will be death rigth now acaused the drop.

  • And then Hudson says: "Game over, man! Game over!"

  • Horrible structural load problems on tail, not a fault of the tail rotor, just the tail. When you have that type of frequency generation on a structure that large it tells me immediately that the craft was either operating outside of its envelope (maybe over or under powering the main rotor) or had severe mechanical/structural failure.

  • How does that even happen?

  • @TheCordog CH-53 Helicopters are designed to fold the tails for maintenance and space saving. theres gears (Disconnect coupling) on each side that mate when the tail is spread. those teeth most likely siezed and ripped the lockpins out of place.

  • this is so sad only one man survived

  • Notice the tail-boom starting to vibrate at @0:33

  • worst camera man ever

  • WTF?? They really just dumped the guy on the ground!! LMAO

  • THIS IS FROM ISRAEL AIR FORCE

  • so many stupid replays?

  • The sound is strange. The engine still rotated?

  • after seen the rescue team working..i'm not surprised that the rest of the helicopter's crew said thank u guys but i'd prefer to walk

  • Comment removed

  • Made in China?

  • dude before it brakes you can clearly see a problem with the tail and if thay were good pilots thay will land anywere thay can as fast as thay can point sed

  • Resonance!!

  • Rescue team dropped him harder that the crash itself...

  • what the hell? forget dropping the whole damn stretcher, look at how they dropped him on the board to begin with. he's a pretty small guy too. how much harder would it have been to not complicate any possible spinal cord issues by NOT skipping the extra 3 seconds of slowly putting him down?

    my guess is that's a medevac helicopter in the background, but i'm hoping at least those guys weren't actual medics.

  • Even dropped a crew member on a stretcher, fucking tards

  • That's an old ass H-53D. The Marine version was limited to about 7K back in the late 80's early 90's.

  • Seems like the same thing as ground resonance.

  • Israelololol

  • stupid Iraqis cant build planes, fly planes, or help wounded.

  • Somone's been lazy at the inpections and been neglecting maintenance.. :( 

  • What caused the tailrotor to come off? Did the main rotor cut it or what the hell?

  • @WeissesSpatz tail folds into the bird for storage what prob happened was the locking pins failed resulting in the whole tail to shear itself apart

  • shoulda had a V8

  • Rescue FAIL

  • Fixed styll Peugeot 504 

  • son 1 asesinos pobre piloto es increible de que pais son

  • It's not a pave low, its the helicopter that came out 13 years earlier. The pave low is an upgraded version of this.

  • @93214919321491 Actually, most Pave Lows were drawn from Vietnam era HH-53 stocks...which rolled off the assembly line about the same time as this D model. In fact, one of the last Pave Lows retired was a veteran of the 1972 Son Tay raid.

  • the wind

  • Uff, I would hate to be inside that helicopter... I've lost engines and it's not a great feeling, seeing the tail section fall off would deff be a nightmare. You can see the helicopter shake unusually when it was pulling power for the lift.

  • @fathinking WOOOOOOW !!! Are you Nostradamus reincarnated ?

  • Tail fail lol =)

  • Man that was Made in china Pawe low :D lol

  • @TheEvoDragster

    Israel

  • OMG is/was that a pawe low ?

  • This is not the rescue team and team death KKKKKKKK Brazilian Greetings

  • He died but he's moving :(

  • @SecretSpetsnaz That makes sense... Actually no it doesn't.

  • @001720BC yeah stomped me too

  • Made in China people!

  • Comment removed

  • The pilot is dead? O_O

  • WTF the tail just fell of hahaha :D

  • Die Sanis bringen ihn um^^

  • why ?

  • And Thats why they have the BMS PNL now!

  • This time is the rescue team to completely fail!!!!

  • this is a common problem in helicopter operations. the aircraft's main rotor or tail rotor reached the natural resonant frequency of the skin material. unfortunately, the pilots did not notice this in time and the aircraft broke apart. this is much like the famous video of the varazano narrows bridge tearing itself apart, another natural frequency. i hope the pilots and any crew members on board survived, but looking at the wreakage, it is hard to tell. also, Cyberwwwizard, have some respect

  • 1:44 OUCH!!!

    anybody remember the movie HOT SHOTS ?

  • Should have set the fucker down at that first sign of massive vibration.

  • ב־29.12.88 מוטי שרון ז"ל נהרג בתאונת מסוק יסעור על פסגת הר חריף, בעת הנחת אבן גבול בין ישראל למצרים. זנב המסוק ניתק בשל תקלה והמסוק נכנס לסבסוב. מוטי הצליח להנחית את היסעור, להציל את יושביו ואת האנשים שהיו על הקרקע, אך כיסאו ניתק והועף החוצה. מוטי נהרג מפגיעה בראשו. כשמפקד בסיס תל־נוף התדפק על דלת ביתה של רותי בשיכון משפחות, איתי בן הארבעה חודשים היה בזרועותיה.

    18 שנים לאחר מכן נפטר איתי במהלך גיבוש לקורס טיס....

  • @picshare Yes, we all understand Hebrew......noob.....

  • Comment removed

  • Complete ductile failure of the tail.

  • Retired Marine here...flown in a few of these. This is probably an old CH53D or earlier. Two engine vice the three engine model out today. The older D model has less lift capability. Obviously someone didn't know what sort of weight they were lifting. Tail rotor failure at the joint where it folds when they store the aircraft when aboard ship. All said and done ...this is a pretty frightening video for a guy who has spent some time in these.....

  • @semperman52 I worked on MH-53's in the Air Force and retired my bird 69-5795 in 2008. Same thing happened to it in May 1975. It was doing hover couplers and lost it's tail due to sympathetic vibrations (It Returned to Service). This one is an Israeli CH-53 placing markers on the border of Israel and Egypt in 1981. The men on the ground are the survey team. The markers were concrete and more than likely varied in weight from one to the next.. The weight of this marker however.. Was just right..

  • told you not to buy airfix

  • Is this from a spoof movie? Funny as fuck!

  • The tail section on the 53 folds there in order to load it onto planes or store it on the deck of a ship, that's why it looked like it came off so cleanly. Not supposed to happen inflight obviously, probably a lot of alarms going off and an 'oh shit!' moment in that cockpit.

  • I like that they never punched the load off!

    Just keep riding it baby, something will give

  • was it just me or was the tail rotor held on by duct tape!

  • Wasn't there any way to tell the guy to land or tell him his tail rotar was shaking

  • weird how the tail rotor disconnected at the transitional section weird. would like to know how that happened. anyone have any ideas....

  • @conflicterrrr bad maintenance team...it's the israeli air force..

  • @conflicterrrr go ahead, blame the illuminati XD

  • oh my god ive seen this video before forgot that they dropped the guy that's hilarious

  • The duct tape didn't hold. And just as I was thinking....man they almost dropped him.

  • This was an IDF CH-53. Did some searching and apparently 3 crewmen died. Its a miracle it wasn't more given the number of ground personnel around and that the CH-53 can often be carrying more than 30 troops, leading to huge loss of life in many CH-53 accidents.

  • the tail started flopping around right before the crash guess the tail section couldn't take the vibration of the rear rotor anymore and fell off

  • Poor guy on the stretcher

    Did anyone die?

    What was the main cause of the accident? Stress fractures in the airframe?

  • @trahcceb if the crash didn't kill him, I'll bet dropping from the stretcher may be fatal....lol

  • @trahcceb 3 crewmen died

  • It is an Israel Air Force CH-53 "YASUR 2000" you can notice the icon of the IAF on the tail

  • Talk about an "OH SHIT" moment...

  • is there dead

  • 1:25 1:47 If the helicopter crash did not kill the pilot, the rescue team surely will do that!

  • @MrIrmantas ffs, how pathetic is that? I'm a paramedic and we are thought that we have to get people out wreckages that are highly flammable a.s.a.p. even if that means we do harm and increase injury. But after that you have to treat a patient like porcelain. Clearly they skipped that lesson that day...

  • Insert MW2 quote here:

  • made in china.....

  • 1:46 RESCUE FAIL

  • Comment removed

  • how many fat men were they saving ?

  • @TheHardrock000 I'd have to say none with a tail shaking like that.

  • hang on! the tail just falls off!?

  • @PAYBACKaiw It starts to wobble most likely because the tailrotor is not spinning evenly.

  • No way! The Pilots are alive?

  • when this helli crahses it is completly destroyed you cant even reconise it its really a crash and burn i dont know how that pilot got out but hes lukky

  • GabbaFresh123 actually that IS a ch-53.

    Are you blind?

  • @dogdays6708 Well apples for apples since they are the same thing.

  • What a joke of a military. No wonder the helicopter failed, they probably didn't maintain it or inspect it

  • this is not the CH53 this is the S65

  • Poor pilot looked much worse after the "rescue". Is this a common problem with the CH-53?

  • is that the pilots spine snapping at 1:23 - 1:25?

  • how do we fix this?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    actually, this would never happen if it were a co-axial design because there is no rear rotor that is essential to fix the torque

    but this is just crazy

    what the hell happened

  • OMG! that shit is to damn funny. 

  • wtf the tail just fell off! fail

  • Damn what was holding the tail to the body? paperclips and bubble gum? particle board and roofing nails? cheap plastic and duct tape? Whatever it was the US army's mechanics need to stop working on helicopters when they're drunk.

  • The tail folding mechanism broke guys. I was a crew chief on one and you can plainly see the failure.

  • Sure are a lot of misinformed comments in these posts. I.e., SierraBravo0 says the external load was too heave causing the tail rotor to fail. No! It doesn't work like that. The aircraft would have lost tail rotor authority and started to yaw long before the tail section broke. As a CH-53 test pilot, I know and have experienced such things. The load was not too heavy. The tail failing was a result of pilot induced oscillations, coupled with AFCS effect, resulting in what you saw in the video.

  • It's a CH-53 of the Israel Defense Forces - IDF.

  • That can only have been an Iranian pilot. The believe they got balls and then need to specify times. The external load was too heavy for the helicopter. The external load began to swing in and the pilot could not counteract the swing. It tore apart the helicopter. But the rescue of the pilot is still best. :D

  • "The H-53 is far from shitty dude."

    Tail rotor equipped aircraft are inherently dangerous. PERIOD. You combine that with the fact that the CH-53, and if you are talking "D" models, they can have 3 engines. That's a shit-load of Torque the tail rotor is having to compensate for.

    The 53 certainly, would not be my 1st choice for safety. Worked on 60's my last 10 years before retiring, and wouldn't stake my life on that either, and that's at least 20 yrs more advanced than a 53.

  • Looks like resonance. Pilot should have put down ASAP. Notice how the tail started to resonate, once it starts you should put her down and unload till she stabilizes then try it again.

  • Dumbasses... they dropped the pilot on 1:48!!

  • If I recall, back in the early 90sthere was a safety bulletin about this very thing. I could be wrong as that was 20 years ago that I was working on the MH-53E.

  • Why did this accident happen?

  • Ther have been so many CH53 / MH53 crashes, it's hard to know which this was?

    It's IDF, but is it the 1994 crash or another?

  • Erm , so yeah ... are they atatching the tail boom on with Salotape or what then ?

  • Made in USA

  • No Way. The Pilots are alive? Holy crap

  • past working in the Israeli air force i can assure that while the helicopter crews are the most talented in the world, the CH-53s we have are 40 year old junking hunking flying death machines... its really sad that while fighter pilots get to fly in state of the art 80 million dollars F-16s, our Helicopter pilots get very old aircrafts because of budget concerns and beaurocratic priorities.

  • @wizzzer1337 The H-53 is far from shitty dude. I flew the MH-53 for ten years and no problems. The Pave Low's avionics were state of the art. The airframe was tough. This was a combined AFCS and pilot induced mishap. Had he jettisoned the load, the tail would not have failed. The Marine Corps will be recieving the new CH-53K in a few years. It is state of the art. The British Merlin is state of the art. The USAF still flys 1950s KC-135s and B-52s. Are those death traps too?

  • ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­

  • Wow... that's shitty.. They freakin dropped the guy... What an embarrassing army.

  • @undertake782

    i'd like to see you do half of what they do, have you ever carried a stretcher before?

    shit happens, always.

  • anyone notice the title???

  • @aaronzack14 Chrash???? Smaaash what is the word

    aaaah Crash.

  • @aaronzack14 ya that was nuts

  • @aaronzack14 lol

  • @aaronzack14 chrash

    

  • Wtf is wrong with you? ridiculous video editing

  • "Well Akbar you think we should walk over there and rescue those guyes?" "Wait until I finnis this refer", "ok, we wait" "if they die we go through their pokets for lose change and american candy". Bunch of Fucktards! Fucking non sense being over there!

  • "Well Akbar you think we should walk over there and rescue those guyes?" "Wait until I finnis cigarette", "ok, we wait" "if they die we go through their pokets for lose change". Bunch of Fucktards!

  • Oh well better to fall from a stretcher, than falling 1000FT after a jesus bolt failure.

  • what a good pilot o.o

  • at least he was whereing a helmet when they dropped him stupid afgans

  • did they survive??!!! :(

  • Oscillations in the main rotor and/ or drive assembly, caused structural fluctuations that eventually led to the tail structure failure.

    Poor maintenance will kill you !

  • israel army - not very good rescuers

  • If you look at the very beginning, you can see the tail section shake, then I knew something would happen to the tail section and sure-enough, the tail rips off.

  • lol, they dropped him

  • been there done that have the t shirt, i hope they made it .

  • They should stick to throwing rocks!

  • I think the pilot had survived

  • Which Nation was the Helicopter?

  • @MrSovjetunion It´s from the Army of Israel

  • Technology is incompatible with stone-age people.

  • OMFG!

  • what's up with all the stupid replays? Are trying to make a fatal accident into something "cool?" Just show the video and get on with it. Nothing funny or cool about plane crashes.

  • @flightsimtim it's a chopper

  • died the pilot

    oh i saw sry

  • died the pilot

  • The folding tail gave out holy shit!

  • if you look at beginning the tail is bouncing like crazy

  • o my god, they droped the injured pilot....... -_-

  • That helicopter already looks like it has damage to the tail section before the tail fell off! Must be more than 'Pilot Induced Oscillation' involved here I think. Just look at where the tail boom joins the body. Looks like it has been patched up before from previous damage.

  •  .. this crash was in israel on 1988

  • Comment removed

  • The pilot might die because of the second 'crach at 1:48

  • @radzey966 Yeah, and the other one at 1:25

  • FUCKING LUCKY PILOT

  • if you want see only crash, go to 0:50

  • @1:50 is the worst part of the crash!

  • В начале видно, как хвостовой винт вибрирует! Кто нибудь помахал бы им, чтобы садились!

  • If you all would read these posts before posting yours, you could read it was an old IDF CH-53 crash. PIO was the cause (Pilot Induced Oscilation) as we called it Collective Bounce. If you down load the Vid. and slow motion it you will see the IDF horizontal V on the Empennage.

  • damn how did this happen?all of a sudden the tail rotor started shaking and then it just collapsed

  • why the fucking hell u replay it all the time !

  • poor pilot!

  • This is real. The tailboom broke off due to airframe resonance resulting from the external load. It's an Israeli '53.

  • Comment removed

  • This is not a German Ch 53. It lacks the Iron Cross. Besides these, it is the wrong uniform and the wrong helmet. Since I myself soldier in a Ch season, I am aware. lg

  • its german soldirs !

    a friend where there !

  • I can't tell whether this is real or fake... looks pretty real!

  • this is not the german army

  • @Marten1945 I think that the soldiers are Taliban, because German rescue certainlys aren't as silly as Talbans:D:D

  • @1896dudi

    but i think the taliban have not a ch53
