    plz spread this guys and dont vote for this cunt, copy and past above

  • this acident was a mecanicial fault set ur minds at rest pte porter and capt bingley were both former 1 rar soldiers and so was jon hadaway though he wasnt killed on operational service all were my friends --I may actually have some footage -no i dont but i

  • to say it was quick was an understatement, it's f'n insane!

  • I agree with both W4L3SY and wepsone here. I was a POCSS and spent 3 years on Kanimbla. In addition to being the ORS, I spent many many hours doubling up as the Aircraft Controller. My heart goes out to the pilot, soldier, and their families! I must also say that the speed, angle, and the overall attempted landing is nothing like I have ever seen. Trust me, I am not wanting to lay blame, but I don't like to see the Navy blemished over something that it can't possibly be held accountable for.

  • id have to agree with wepsone here... im a CSO in the navy and have seen hundreds of deck landings on the flight deck cameras, and the angle the helo came in at i had never seen before either, and nowhere near that quick either

  • Landing a helo an a ship is one of the most dangerous activities there is. It requires excellent skills and a slow and steady approach from the quarter. I have seen hundreds of deck landings and never seen an approach from this angle or at this speed. Maybe some aspect of the pilots training had been overlooked?

  • black hawk was old I believe. ??

  • Hmm pilot error I would think. May he rest in peace. wouldn't you think the pilot would notice the speed, and have another try at the landing than risk it? I dunno about anything that kind of stuff so i cant really say much,

    its just my opinion.

  • Bingers was a good pilot... Everyone has a bad day...RIP
