#NBCNews #Alabama #Helicopter
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
interesting past week or so balloons and ufos being shot down, chemical train explosion in ohio, mass shooting in michigan, and now a black helicopter down…
you say “mass shooting” as if that doesn’t happen like every month in the US… also, the balloons ARE the “UFO”,,, its not little green men (and i don’t mean the Russians) the balloons are the PRC’s cheap spying program, nothing more/less,,, and what about a chemical train explosion? thats not out of the ordinary…
and lastly, the Blackhawk, as seen in this video, had a major roter malfunction.
I smell a cover up.
@Richard Ramirez double cover up? tf? it was a major roter malfunction, not some alien beam or whatever your two year old mind comes up with…
@ЧикиБрики says the guy who came up with the idea that i was referring to the major roter malfunction without myself mentioning what they were actually covering up AAAAAND came up with the alien beam idea. All I said was “I smell a cover up”, lulz. Your 2 year old mind imagined the rest. Now look at yourself, egg all over your face, just embarrassing, go call home and tell your mama you’re sorry…well go on n GIT boy!
@Cin Peace and you sir are awarded this 🏆 and this 👑 …..everyone else gets cake.
Ps. The cake is a lie 😉
@Richard Ramirez it was a major roter malfunction, what are you on about moron
@ЧикиБрики It was a major roter malfunction, not the aliens beams or whatever else you came up with in your moronic mind. What are you on about child?
1:00 I’m a bit confused as to why that doorbell camera is moving. Or did the resident grab his doorbell and move it in order to get a better angle?
im pretty sure, the doorbell detected the smoke or something and sent an alert to the person inside whom then took out their phone and began recording
That’s not the doorbell camera
Use your brain for once.
Counterfeit chips in the onboard computer made by… you know who… ??? Maybe.
huh??? it is a major roter malfunction.
Definitely aliens 👽
yes, aliens whom are also friends with the PRC
RIP soldiers o7. 🙏
So sad and tragic losing America’s finest. Rest easy brothers.
God bless you and keep you forever in his embrace.
Blackhawk down?
Yes. Obviously. Very punny. Almost as funny as diarrhea cha cha cha.
@Kyle Maki (in Daria voice) Get a life.
Go watch the movie RED DAWN, only movie I’ve ever been interested in
i mean, thats not what’s happening here but yeah i suggest watching it for fun
@ЧикиБрики your not as smart as you think you are, I’m not a conspiracy theorist but I see the tension
@ЧикиБрики some of Americans will fight to death against you just like the Taliban
Looks like black hawk down is getting a sequel
A National GUARD ?? And trucks with hazmat material, trains with hazmat material, which is kinda hushed up, cylindrical objects over our airspace and Canada’s and ahugespy balloon in America then Canada then America again and one in South America and a 3rd was mentioned but we dont know where. Trying to connect the dots. And all those east coast earthquakes making a semi circle as if they were excavating tunnels underground and speaking of that more south Americans still coming and refusing to leave a luxury hotel and the hotel being g told to keep them and feed them 3 meals a day. America telling Americans and Americans with dual citizenship to get out of Russia immediately! Blaming it on Ukraine war. And China threatening us because they say we flew balloons back at them and that is wrong!! But it was ok they did it to us. Meanwhile young men flew a big balloon over the Chinese Embassy in UK. While people in Ohio are told its safe to go home now and the woman lied saying no wildlife died but fish. And tons of people are reporting wildlife and pets died and I know all birds in the area died including inside pet birds because I studied parrots and passerines. Drink bottled water…cant afford food but getbittled water to cook ,drink, wash dishes in and bathe and wash clothes and send in samples of your well water that the poison is leaching into but its safe. No worries and its making its way to the gulf of Mexico. Shrimp, oysters, flounder and most other fish. Even dolphins. Where is the feds? Where are the green peace people now. I know every wild bird fell out of the sky in that area of Ohio and miles around. All the deer and raccoons and other wildlife. This is not looking good for us as a country at all. We are low on baby formula because we’re are still being invaded and we are low on food for the same reason and the drought. Now we can’t have produce from miles around the train wreck. Do something washington!!!
Heavenly father please be with those 2 men’s families may they have comfort and be cared for thank you for the service Lord Amen
As a fellow Blackhawk aviator, this truly breaks my heart. I am very curious as to what caused this mishap, causing the main rotor to completely seize up.
So many things….. The gears inside the main transmission could had failed due to faulty maintenance during the manufacturing or overhauling process, could had lost all its lubricant, maybe a rotor blade snapped or came loose…. I work on the Navy version of the UH60, the MH60-R. Our aircraft have an IVHMU data recorder (a.k.a black box) perhaps this aircraft had the same and it survived the impact so it can be read to understand what caused the accident.
@superoshi LMAOOOOOOOOOOO bro really said the US military has a “lack of funding”.
@ЧикиБрики Links in YouTube get deleted
@case barreoltt so in otherwords, you dont have a link
You can hear the rotors slapping the air hard so I don’t think they seized up (even if they did doesn’t the gearbox have an emergency lubrication system should it lose oil pressure?). Maybe loss of tail rotor effectiveness? RIP
Let’s be the first to report this even though we did absolutely nothing to gather any information what so ever about the incident 🤡
well, it was a major roter malfunction so theres that
ALIENS 👽
sent by the PRC 🇨🇳
I am sorry to hear the crew did not survive, but this reinforced my view that the military DOES NOT need to practice maneuvers over private residential areas.
thats not maneuvers, theres obviously a base around, blackhawks tend to just fly around, when I lived in the US they flew over my house a lot, I loved going out and watching them go by as a kid, its normal
It didn’t hit inside a neighborhood.
@ЧикиБрики the just flying around actually is practicing maneuvers, where they civilian pilots, the FAA would do a practical test on the pilots. i don’t know if the military pilots do the FAA test or if the military training is a de facto okay to fly. being able to hover in place, take off, land, etc. there are about a dozen general maneuvers and about another dozen emergency ones. that is what they are doing while just flying around. there is usually thousands of acres at t he back end of a base that doesn’t have a residential area on it.
@case barreoltt I didn’t state that it did.
@J P ok? they still fly around, its normal, chill.
Beyond rare.. Almost impossible.
it was a major roter malfunction, which as you stated, with proper maintenance and care is very rare but definitely not impossible
Having your rotor fail in the air must be terrifying. One minute you’re in a helicopter the next you’re in a giant chunk of steel plummeting to the ground. RIP and thank you for your service
You can hear the rotor up till moment of impact. Why all the comments about rotor seizure?
@case barreoltt Based on the uncontrollable spin it was in it was likely a tail rotor failure. So you’d still hear the main rotor
@Yam Kaw More likely than main rotor lock, for sure.
@case barreoltt Main rotor lock is unheard of for the most part. It looks like LTA and he just couldn’t raise collective up after lowering it. That and hydraulic failure as it looks very similar to the video in 2015 and the Mi28 Havoc crashing due to hydraulic failure according to the Russians.
Poor maintenance?
Old helicopter?
Why don’t they just junk the old stuff?
It’s not like the military is poorly funded. They’re getting like almost $1 trillion dollars a year for crying out loud.
it was a major roter malfunction.
Probably same pilot that shot down ufo in Michigan, the cover up begins.
jesus christ, it was a major roter malfunction, besides that, a fighter pilot can’t just hop into a blackhawk and know how to fly it, each aircraft is different
@ЧикиБрики oh, yes sure it was.
That why you don’t shoot things in the sky down if you don’t know what they are… cause they might start shooting back.
they are very clearly balloons, and very certainly sent by the PRC.
looks like the UFO’s are shooting back
no. its a major roter malfunction
@ЧикиБрики caused by temporal distortion afflicted on the roter by the UFO, obviously.
@messy jetski yes, the aliens are taking orders from the PRC to attack America! we must take a stance and cancel these aliens.
Looks like a mechanical failure
YES…. finally someone whos not saying this is Jesus, Aliens, China, or Democrats…
thank you…
@ЧикиБрики bro why you curating everyone’s coment. Stfu. You know as much as everyone else, which is zero
@HelenKReEEee 😂 and you do ?
Anything to do with those UFO’s ?
no.
Waiting for report.
China must be punished for this. I know they did something.
this? this was a major roter malfunction, the PRC needs to be punished for thousands of things and I hate the government just like the next person, but they had nothing to do with this…
Ohio chemical explosion, airline runway incidents, failed high speed rail, fires from mismanaged forests… why is this happening?
it has been happening for years, its just getting more traction now because people are paranoid.
Prayers. …
Thanks Trump
what? this is a major roter malfunction, what, how? i don’t understand what you’re getting at?
It does not say much something like rarely happens . Good way to have ppl removed with not much of anything . Only to have new identities. Where was it going who was in it, when was it last checked . When did they last radio communicate. What were these men tied to? Only the government can pull this off
JOE BIDEN
WHERE YOU AT MAN
What a time for classified stealth military helicopters to be falling out of the sky into your backyard
Not stealth
Stealth? Not quite.
Weather related….what “weather related” phenomenon could cause your rotor to stop and have you plummet
God Bless those onboard
BRO WTF IS GOING ON
I hope this wasn’t HeavyD
UFOs fighting back
Bruh I’m literally thinking this.
Blackhawk down
POV tiny town destroyed by black hawk 🥵
Emp must of hit the chopper….. was it China or the alien’s ???
When your maintenance team is too busy making TikTok’s
UFO probably shot it down
I bet Biden thought it was a balloon
My Ancestors are beginning to fight back 🛸🇺🇸
I can’t imagine their last thoughts and memories flashing before their eyes. You have my thoughts and prayers, god bless you.
This what happens when you don’t maintain equipment, signs of the US decline
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for free 104
Reminds me of that one movie
Expect a lot more of this for the rest of this year.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I won’t be flying for the foreseeable future.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Rest in peace and thank you for your service
Aliens fighting back now.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We shot down four aliens, now they’re shooting us down. Happy independence day!!?
Seems like a lot of planes & crafts have been falling out of the sky lately. Shady ish going on
RIP. Thank you for your service and I’m so so so sorry you had to give your life in this way… never shouldve happened…
Maybe we need to be looking into ways to put better safety mechanisms on Helicopters, since they are virtually unchanged from their original design…
I just feel like this is common enough for us to do something about this
The main transmission seizing? It’s very, very rare.
🥺😭 Rest In Peace. May God hold you in his arms. Thank you for your service.
Excuse me???
So you’re telling me there’s no recording of what was going on before it went down the pilot must’ve said something???
Something just doesn’t feel right about this.
I knew shooting down unidentified flying objects was a bad idea. See
It’s happened before on even some different models (manufacturers), of helicopters. I remember a few from my earlier years when I was just starting out as a pilot. (You know, gathering every bit you can in the way of knowledge when you love it so much).
Prayers for the family and friends of those lost. It’s never easy and it’s always frustrating, but in reality we’re a very fragile species. 💞💞🇺🇸🇺🇸 Thank you all for your service 🙏
JESUCRISTO 🙏✝️💚🇺🇸BENDIGA LOS DOS AMERICAN 🇺🇸 SOLDADOS Y TU FAMILIAS Y TU AMIGOS PARA SIEMPRE AMÉN 🙏 AMÉN 🙏✝️💚🇺🇸
I wanna see the NTSB report.
I guess we can’t talk about Russia no more now huh
… aliens!!! 🤪
The world is a stage.
Rest In Peace ✌🏿🙏🏿 😔 💔 😞 😢 😭
Condolences to the family and prayers to God! People stay strong and keep these soldiers in and their families in your prayers! God bless their souls.
MTG and boebert and the Cult will say it was a alien balloon got in the way
helicopter failures are terrifying, your just falling spinning sort of silently for a couple seconds and i cannot imagine what was going through those pilots minds when they were falling.
I still have never been on a plane or helicopter and i will never get on one unless i need to. It’s literally taking a big risk of either dying or surviving to get to your location in a plane or helicopter.
RIP to the brothers and sisters onboard❤️
Thank Goodness there were only 2 onboard and nobody on the ground was injured. My condolences to the families of those killed.😢
ayo watch yo jet bruh
edit rip tho
When the state of the Ukrainian military is more important to the president than the US military, what do you expect? Maybe if the National Guard had that $100 billion, they could have done the necessary maintenance…
But this administration has already shown that the US military is not its priority. When his general staff advised him to keep Bagram air base open so that air assets could cover the US retreat from Afghanistan that he ordered, Biden denied this advice and closed it anyways. Over a dozen US Marines were subsequently killed at the airport in Kabul as a result.
Oh well. They’re not his kids….
The sky acting up just seems to be the latest trend I see
Blame Russia next ?
With all the crisis happening, it has really affected the stock market, one needs to have a different portfolio
I already invested in forex and crypto which are really profitable
@Roberte48
I’m not here to converse for him but to testify just for what I’m sure of, he’s trust worthy and best option ever seen
Sometimes I wonder if he’s uses magical powers to trade
A friend that I referred to him just received €9,050 profit after 10 days of investing…. I became jealous.. Lol
Beautiful information here,I’m glad I came across this !I reached out to Robert and I will begin my experience . Thank you all
Cool!
I will never forget the one that crashed in Somalia
Best military in the world 😂
Saw it in Ca
BLACK HAWK DOWN!
A pilot mentioned a long time ago that he would never ever fly a helicopter, because once mechanical problems, they fall like a rock. No warning. They also more expensive to maintain, he said.
Diversity is our strength? How do you know that this Blackhawk wasn’t sabotaged by your diversity force.
GOD BLESS ARE SOLDIERS LOST !!
Serving the armed forces is a dangerous business, during peace or war.. VERY COMPLEX POWERFUL MACHINES…. UNFURNATLY EQUIPMENT FAILURE SOME TIMES RESULTS IN TRAGIC LOSS OF ARE GREATEST ASSETS, ARE WARRIORS.. GOD BLESS 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ✨️
Omg so sad such a terrible loss
A Chinese spy balloon hit it?
This accident looks like something happened to the main gearbox or blades.
We don’t know whether it was mechanical or weather related
You left out the most obvious cause… How about vaccine-related, you know, died suddenly?
That would be my bet.
So sad.
America baby!!!!!! Build and let crumble zero maintenance zero effort just build and let crumble then raise taxes yall act like this is important news when you just filmed the government being the
government plain and simple
dont worry illegal aliens can now vote and your money is feeding them, clothing them, and housing millions of them. Thankfully, Ukraine is getting the help they need.
Huntsville in Madison County in the state of Arkansas makes sense, not Alabama. It is like the next town south 23 Hwy. Idk like 30 miles or so away.
Black Hawk Down yall
That sucks ☹️
But Chinese balloons that might not be Chinese or spy balloon 😂
That was a complete motor failure. That was a dead fall. I wonder if the pilot did a PMCS before they took off and if they did and ignored something
DEW?
puzzling; high altitude straight and level RTB from Rucker to TN? M/R gearbox (MGB) has “30min” dry run capacity so seizure is highly unlikely (we once found a depot level MX tool inside MGB after CCAD) and didn’t look like M/R separation … really sad. RiP
Distractions!!!
