  • Nice footage.

    But as a former USCG SAR Aircrewman with many hours in the HH-3F twin turbine Pelican, I have to correct your caption.

    Rotor blades are attached to, & are part of the rotor system linked not to a motor, but to a transmission. The xmission is powered by 1 or more *engines* not motors. Twin turbine engines in this case. Motors are electrically powered. That's the simplified description.

    You still get a thumbs WAY up from me! You were brave just to stay behind the camera!

  • @kevjay777 Thanks for the correction. I know pretty much nothing about flying machines.

  • There's another dramatic helicopter accident that you can see by clicking on "EntertainMeThai" immediately below then navigate to "Spectacular Helicopter Accident-Italian Army Agusta NH-90 Hits Water of Lake Bracciano" & click on it. Also at that site, click on "Landing Accident-Rarely Seen Bouncing or Porpoising" to see an unusual fixed-wing a/c accident.

  • I know right..

  • why did he move the camera in the best part

  • errrr, steel blades? 

  • @blueb0g Yes, yes I do. I expect him to risk his life, and possibly die, in order to entertain me.

  • @symph0nyofblase That's because the blades have detached and are flying towards him, do you expect him not to duck?

  • I love videos like this. As soon as the action starts happening the camerman has a seizure and starts breakdancing.

  • @kevjay777 great explanation. Right with you.

  • yellow and then it turned black so black and yellow, black and yellow can't see shiiiit

  • Change the title to " after chopper crashes immediately film the ground,your shoes,and swing the camera in different directions
