My friends, I flew those things and this is what I see. The pilot is coming in too fast and too low. The classic steep approach would have been the desired technique. The pilot honked up on the nose in an attempt to slow down and lost translational lift prior to hovering over the deck. He found himself jockeying the controls and too low as he moved across the deck and of course, you see the result when his wheel gets caught in the cat walk. It's sad, this mishap did not have to happen.

I love how it takes like 10 sec for the boats to do something

This was a training exercise, Marines of 1st Force Recon Co. and Navy Seals were simulating a ship take down, the two RIB's just behind the ship are SBU personel and Seals . 7 of the Force Recon personel on the Helo parished in this accident.

James Page who was in the helicopter saved many of his fellow marines when he could have got out of the sinking hellicopter first. He is a hero.

wow....how could any of you cowards call these people less than soldiers. all of these men aboard that ship belonged to the marine special forces black operatives unit, and were to be deployed to the persian gulf in 1999 (which if you dont know was active to say the least) and would be preforming highly dangerous naval assaults...not reconnaissance... assaults. The captain Eric Kapitulik, suffered a compound fracture in his leg and clawed his way out of that damn helicopter...
