how not to land a helicopter

[razawaheed]

I think this is engine frailer and pilot tried to land on the ship deck, i pray all the crow member are safe

[Robbie734]

i just thought that he came in too fast and low. but i wouldnt know. i am going to join the army or airforce in 3 years so im trying to learn as much as i can

[dave7179Z]

Those of you posting vicious comments have no clue what you are talking about. Take a five minute flight behind the controls of a helicopter and you'll see what I mean. I'm both a helicopter pilot and accident investigator. Dynamic rollover is what caused that incident to become a fatal accident. That would be an easy mistake to make if most of her flight experience was on UH-1's which it most likely was. God help the familes of the seals that died in that crash.

[stuartmc86]

Not one of the best ideas i have to say. . . .

[dynamicxo]

Some of these men died. Not funny.

[chrisjstone1975]

Did I see John McCain behind the wheel?

[Envx]

I see nothing wrong with that

[Ivanalexm]

You can tell the copter was tilted back, trying to slow down, and rotors going fast. Probably wind didn't help and that hting looks heavy and old... How unfortunate.

[GOODKINGRIC]

bugger

[calclarke159]

What the fuck was that guy thinking i could land a helicopter better than him

[TheNossinator]

He didn't miss the boat.

The back left tire got caught in that net thing. As he tried to gain hieght it pulled it onto it's side and into the water.

[superchris247]

u gada be pretty dumb to just miss the boat and hit the water that is about as stupid as getting hit by a train

[Mortokeiro]

women drive!

ahhahahaha...

[youpy5689]

I bet it's a woman behind the wheel!

[lMattyl]

omg i hate it on a very sudden video example: fire they would say, something like my friend was in there n they wasnt oh yeah, did they die, they must of got trapped.

[butweat]

wow the railing of the ship did all of that

[lionheart1827]

My dads friend was a helicopter pilot, and was on that very same boat. Supposedly they all died in the crash.

[dompoodle]

thats no good, but shit like this happends because helicopters are so hard to drive especially old one...

[SimonFriedemann]

was there people dying? cause if so should not be shown.

[TheNossinator]

Just shows how much things can go wrong...

[christoffff]

The navy is so proud of its first female helicopter pilot.

[fyffe179]

Thanks, loveyk, for the details.

[fyffe179]

Do we know if the crew is O.K.? If they are not O.K., then this is not at all funny and whaddadude is sooo right.

[sergelapelle]

Watch carefully - you see one of the crew lean out of the cab from the front right window.

[toadaus]

how do you hover over a moving ship

[gadget666]

same way you hover in a crosswind, compemsate for the wind

[bigwaun]

these guys were obviously making an emergency landing otherwise they would not have came in so fast and low I used to work with helicopters in the military and know for a fact that they normaly hover then come straight down

[gadget666]

they were training for an assault on an enemy vessel, this wasnt an emergency

[gadget666]

they were training for an assault on an enemy vessel, this wasnt an emergency

[whaddadude]

I wanna to make sure I understand the "funny" part: a bunch of young marines who, whatever their politics or beliefs, are willing to put their lives on the line to protect any of us on any day of the week, get killed while training for such a role, get killed during an accident. Was it someone trying to save themself by crawling out a window or what? I want to laugh, too. Somebody please explain the funny part. And, preferably, please come explain it to me in person. I'll wait.

[Anacrest]

degraded huh? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! you americans are sooooo stupid! and you wonder why we call you that huh?

[JazzBassTheWolf]

Anacrest, I'd bet money you've never MET an American.

You wouldnt know one if one climbed on your head and crapped in your eye, moron.

[Zirconoix]

I wonder, why do they call it Safety net?

[Takkyon]

No wonder the Americans are losing the Iraq war!

[lehapankov]

they have already won it. don't make up shit just because you don't like americans

[bigwaun]

we are only losing the war in your pissy little mind asshole

[ezra4no1]

I see a Visa Commercial here.

Helicopter pilot training, $100,000 plus. Owning a Chinook helicopter, $ Millions. Trying to jump out the window to save your own life as your helicopter slips of the landing deck of a ship and is about to sink to the botteom of the ocean - Priceless. I bet there's a Kodak moment somewhere in there too.

[manofpie]

erza, thats mastercard, not Visa

[ryosuke84]

its not a ch47 chinook man, its a ch46 sea knight. The USN and USMC do not fly the chinook.

[snogger6]

goddamn it. why are we paying tax dollars to train incompetent pilots.

[elpresley]

Apperently the Helo went in to fast at a too low level. Then the left rear Wheel was trapped in a safety net, which couldnt be seen by anyone on board of the helo. In the attepmt to gain hight the helo then flipped over. Thats what happened. Theres NOTHING to laugh about. If you feel like laughing then you show how degraded your brain is.

[Anarchemitis]

Oh! SHIT!

[bonepart666]

damn those fuckin zodiacs react late! what are they fuckin day dreaming

[jlambvo]

Hey, just like Battlefield 2

[MaCunaFa]

i hate it when people think whoever posted these are horrible ppl... when we watch we dont think about guys who die... we're thinking about EXPLOSIONS AND STUFF DYING DONT ENTER OUR MINDs

[krunko]

Good thing they are rolling in the Ospreys.

[igis]

haha i cant help but laugh

[TechMaven]

The pilot was a buffoon

[nydiaskate]

hey the fucked up,all the wity smart talk by some of you wannabs does not change the fact that the pilot fucked up

[BayDell]

i thought it runned out of fuel, i mean what is the hurry??

[adamhg]

hahahahah wat a stooge

[crob647gtx]

a stooge? do you know how hard it is to land a helo on a floating target while at sea? apparently not. I surmise you aren't a pilot, or even a novice follower of aviation. Nor are you privy to such complex operations, or the planning and technical wizardry that goes into such a "seemingly" simple maneuver. The fact that you thought this unfortunate incident was funny only reveals your sophomoric sense of humor.

[h0llywoodmarine]

This is the reason why we do the training we do like the one i have in my videos.

[loveyk]

This Ch-46 Seaknight accident happened 12/9/9 It crashed while attempting to land on the Navy tanker PECOS during a training exercise. The chopper's landing gear apparently snagged a metal safety net and the helicopter flipped over into the water and sank. Eleven Marines were rescued by SEALS, six Marines and a sailor drowned. In Navy slang, the CH-46 Seaknight Helicopter is called the "Whistling Shit Can of Death". I kid you not.

[logandrummer23]

it was in the gulf my uncle was there he said it was a highly confidential crash youtube has EVERYRHING except porn but thats what metacafe is 4 lol

[Rockclinger]

Thanks for explaning, I wondered if anyone got hurt during the Helo-0ps.

[MikeJones2006]

dwinslow1245 he didnt even say it was funny! dont start a arguement to make you look good. and for all you know bowtotom321 could be a helicopter pilot!

[dwinslow1245]

This isn't funny.. lets see you do better.

Jerk

[bowtotom321]

nor are you but am i complaining? *coughnocough*

[paulpond]

no,this is fuckin hilarious!
