To be fair, from his perspective this isn't an "H", its an "I" which makes sense considering...

Pilot to crew:
1. Deploy lifting hoist
2. Secure then raise offensive POS
3. Move then deposit atop nearest highrise
4. Return to LZ and complete rescue mission

Maybe in the top 10. We did an event in San Mateo, California that was suited more for rallycross with full gravel tires than a ride and drive.

Years ago I was working for a fire district in Southern California and I found a nice quiet place to start filling out some paper work near the Chino Airport fire station. Next thing I know a Southern Californian Edison helicopter lands 30 feet next to my Dodge Omni. Scared the sheet out of me, and taught me to not park near the "H" again.

I can't believe no Jalop has offered up a guess to the model of heli based on the shadow - pretty sure it's an S-76.

Helicopter blades do flex. So do airplane wings. That said, this might be the thing where the blades are rotating so fast that if the camera captures the image in scanlines from top to bottom, the blades may have moved significantly over the duration of the frame. Even more likely if it's a captured frame from a video camera than if it's a still camera.

Cant they drop a couple of coke cans on the roof from altitude to give the owner of that car some free pop? Aim for the sunroof.

When I worked in the car rental biz (college job) there was a Cadillac dealer in Providence RI owned by Herb Chambers. Herb had a Bell 429 flown by a pilot I knew from my Army National Guard unit. I asked him once about the landing spot in the dealer's parking lot (hard to miss a giant H) and did it damage cars when they'd land. He told me if cars were parked too close their windshields would crack from the pressure created by the rotor wash. Herb didn't care, he just paid to have the windshields replaced. Thinking about it now, maybe insurance covered it?

There is a hospital near me with the helipad in the parking lot.

There are signs that say, "Park at your own risk."

If the copter pilot was a badass, he'd set it down close enough that the car's owner would have to get in through the passenger door.

I'd like to think they're just pulling through on the way to those empty spots in front of them (still pictures stop motion)...

...however in my heart I know someone is just that freakin' dumb.

This is easily solved with some extra throttle and hover in place over the offending vehicle. Repeat as needed till the pad is clear.

I actually work at his Lexus dealership in Sharon and there is actually a part of the parking lot where we don't park so that he can park the helicopter. That part of the lot is all inventory anyway so I'm sure insurance would cover those
