Helicopter Crashes - Original HD footage
Whist erecting a seven story high structure to be used as a Christmas tree, the helicopters rotor struck a cable causing the aircraft to crash to the ground. (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
For what it is worth, the NTSB DIDN'T investigate. Lots of countries, even small ones like New Zealand, have their own, well-qualified and competent agencies too. The report on this crash can be found on the website of the New Zealand Transport Accident Investigation Commission.
nobody looked like they were in any hurry to get him out of there.. Looked like one guy went into the break-room to get him a beer...
I wouldn't either hearing that engine spool up like that....stand back until you know it's not gonna pop.
What a bunch of rookies. Lucky no one was injured.
Although not flight related, the pilot, after being evacuated from the danger of post crash fire, should have been placed flat on the ground with his head immobilized, not placed in a chair.
The (former) EMT in me was saying that, unless there was a clear risk of fire, they shouldn't have extracted him until help arrived... Even after removing him, placing him in a folding chair (that almost folded up just before he sat down, was not the wisest action (then again, looking at what happened, it is clear that no one was really thinking clearly that day anyway...).
I was thinking the same thing.... At least until medics arrived..
