Tail Rotor Of 1 Through Cockpit Of Another

A Bell 206-B model attempted to take off while another helicopter was on the helipad. Normally it would have been all good, but, today was an extra windy day. While at idle a gust of wind picked up the "B Model" and turned it 90 degrees to the left. The B Model then settled down causing the tail rotor to go through the cockpit. This video shows the retrieval of both aircraft using another bigger helicopter.
