@Wahlnutz no problem :) I just saw that you had an idea what you were talking about and remembered that I've seen the report somewhere.. it's sort of "famous" actually. Always good to spread the info; learn form others mistakes..
@code123ns Very interesting, seems the pilot knew one of his engines was not producing full power but decided not to land. One has to wonder how in his head setting the bird back down was not as good of an idea as hovering down a street with hazards on either side. And now I'm curious, how did you find this all out? Did you already know about this particular crash? Thanks again for the report info, was a good read, happily no orphans or candy was involved though :D
@code123ns That goes without saying, key to that report would be a tail number, location, type of aircraft... without one of those, you would have to search through every single report of a helicopter crash... and without personally knowing what country it was even in... it's bout near impossible.
This had neither orphans or candy on board.. This was a birthday present for an old man who did eventually die from this accident. Orphans and candy.. What a tosser..
The only thing I can think of is that the bird was overloaded and couldn't get higher than in ground effect hover, tried to compensate by reaching ETL by going down the street, but failed miserably. Whatever the case he should not have hovered down the street, and if he was over weight, he should have recognized that and set back down. Either way, he probably lost his certification or received a harsh penalty by the JAA (I don't think this was US so not FAA...)
LOL "Candy and Orphans" you sick bastard! hahah :)

Helicopter; registration, type LY-HCS, Mi-2
Persons on board:
crew:1
passengers:5
Injuries to persons: One person was seriously injured and died
three days later.Five were slightly injured nearby.
A technical investigation has detected foreign matter in the fuel injection
system of one of the engines which reduced the possible fuel flow through
this by approximately 50 %.
