video of a ch53 chopper crash

[coronadozx]

YouTube - ch53 chrash

the tail rotor section just fell off ... wow.

if a drop out of the sky wasn't bad enough, the guys rescuing figured they'd give the pilot one more for good measure. you'll see what i'm talking about at 1:48

hope the pilot(s) were okay.

Man, right at the beginning you can see the tail rotor section shaking violently.

I remember seeing this crash YouTube - Hellicopter

We had a similar incident but the pilot was able to get her down. Another time the helo's coming into land and the starboard engine just burst into flames.

crazy

i've seen that video before, were you on that ship when it happened???

[Rascus]

Nope, not on that ship.

We just had a very similar incident once.

[coronadozx]

no shit. were the pilots okay?

[Rascus]

They didn't crash. They just got the back wheel stuck on the saftey nets and were able to land it down.

I do think they had to check their shorts after they got out!

Wow, that is intense.
