Dynamic rollover is a bad time.

This is also why you don’t take your helicopter to your jet.

How? Didn’t seem like that hard of a hit...

It caught fire and exploded just after the video stopped.

Actually, just after the video ended, there was a kaboom. It killed both people on board.

What an absolutely terrifying and horrible way to die. And that cameraman, who I have to assume knew the pilot, can never un-see that.

Further proof that money doesn’t buy the ability to control what you bought.

The helicopter continued spinning for the next 5 minutes and 10 seconds while slowly sliding about 530 ft east along the ramp.

I was wondering how long it spun there.

Is this what he was trying to land on? It’s hard to see in the video.

Edit - found a photo of N711B - I’m assuming this is the dolly.

I was wondering why it rocked back like it did. That’s a small target for someone to land on with such little experience. Just a couple feet larger, and he might of made it.

Shit, you weren’t kidding. Now I feel bad.

You didn’t know. Had I not known I would’ve likely made the same joke.
