A Boeing CH-46 Sea Knight is overloaded and crashes into calm seas whilst trying to land on a military vessel.
The Boeing CH-46 Sea Knight is a medium-lift tandem rotor cargo helicopter, used by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) to provide all-weather, day-or-night assault transport of combat troops, supplies and equipment. Assault Support is its primary function, and the movement of supplies and equipment is secondary. Additional tasks include combat support, search and rescue, support for forward refueling and rearming points, CASEVAC and Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP). The commercial version is the BV 107-II, commonly referred to as simply the "Vertol".
Dynamic rollover because the port side landing gear of the Chinook got snagged on the safety barrier attached to the edge of the landing pad of the ship. Watch the video closely and read up on helicopter characteristics and aerodynamics. Are you a helicopter pilot? Because I am. If the pilot would have lowered the collective, they would not have rolled over into the ocean. It would have been a f^cked up landing and the helicopter would have been damaged but, not into the ocean.

@GTMustangRider dynamic rollover because he couldn't get the altitude to land properly because he was overweight?

That unfortunate crash occured because of a dynamic rollover not because of the helicopter being overloaded. Someone needs to correct the title of this video.
