Hope the guy in the red suit is OK and that there was no fire. Was the ship pitching on waves even though stuck? What was being blurred-out in the video? A logo? Agree, good music!

We were fortunate that there was no fire, otherwise would have been a different story.

An icepack strong enough to hold a big ship,,, and they had to land on a confusing small deck ?? Why not on the ice just beside the ship ?. These choppers lands everywhere on ice normally.

@pbstratocaster

The pack ice is considered to unpredictable to land on. Also we would then have to load and unload people and freight onto the ship. Too much of a risk. Just unfortunate that the chopper got a skid caught on the platform!

@halnwheels Yes, I think they avoided to show the company logo.

why did the chopper actually crash? it looked like he already sat there but then lifted off and crashed...the ship was frozen in the ice,so no movement there...was the wind picking up?

Jesus that was lucky mate! Nasty place to have to try to set down, literally under the crane boom. sooooooooo lucky that there was not a death as you can see the blades go everywhere! Poor pilot!
