  • it was loaded with too much cocaine.

  • Why does everyone move the camera right as something starts to happen? I can't be the only one that hates that.

  • @steve04 Most people literally forget they are filming. They get caught up in the moment and OMG! I have filmed many aircraft crashes and had to remind myself "just keep filming, I have to keep in the viewfinder!" Its an impulse thing like flinching when something is thrown at you when you don't expect it. The camera operator MUST stay focused on the fact that they may be recording the cause of the incident, and a shot of there own feet at the key moment isn't gonna cut it!

  • @medicvideo

    ...i suppose you are one of "those" people that believe that

    the wheels on the stagecoaches in movies and tv

    actually run in reverse every so often.

    Pretty magical, ain't it?

  • @danusia115 Or a mother-in-law.

  • @steve04 you're not, I have a friend that does the same shit, had him recording me and all he got was the ground...

  • i love the stroboscopic effect when it is crashing :)

  • @Drkadrk Do you at least see what I am saying....or am I nuts?

  • @Drkadrk I understand what you are saying and I am familiar with the phenomenon and have seen it in other videos, HOWEVER: at the time in question this helicopter is NOT flying, it is falling from the sky. The rotor blades impact the ground in such a way that it is clear they CANNOT be rotating counterclockwise at time of impact. How it is they begin to rotate clockwise is my question. If they we going in the opposite direction I would say your explanation was likely. Thoughts?

  • @medicvideo Trust me.. look at 22 seconds.. you think the blades are rotation that slow and its flying? Its the cameras capture rate.

  • @Drkadrk I don't think that is correct. If you watch closely the blades actually begin to move CLOCKWISE on impact.....opposite of their normal counter clockwise rotation (viewed from above). They could only do this from a stalled position. Now HOW and why they do this is beyond me.

  • @medicvideo dude the blades didnt stop the just went in synch with the cameras capture speed
