how did it get like that? it hit something
Did you read the headline?! Nope
@Awakened!
But it was broken before crash. How did it get that way?
@Dr. B. THINKINa bird? why didn’t the pilot land beforehand, a helicopter can land almost anywhere. trash pilot from a trash sheriff dept.
@Dr. B. THINKIN The blades werent spinning properly on top, but the tail was still going normally. The difference in speed caused too much stress and made the tail break.
They always flying way too low over houses because they can as sheriffs.
Yep
Yeah uh No.
IDGAF what law enforcement agency you are.
Pilots answer to the FAA.
That pilot if he survived is probably never gonna be flying again
They died
Just like the gta paleto score
Failure in the transmission that splits power from main rotor to the tail fan.
My skill at driving a gta5 helicopter
Cool!A GTA V helicopter
Sad…I’m so sorry for pilot and homeowner.
I’m no expert, but I’d say the crash happened because the tail fell off.
Yes. The whole tail looks completely broken off but hanging. What did he hit?
🤦🏻♂️🤣 I didn’t wanna laugh at that.
Can’t stop laughing 😂😂
@CALL ME SIRthought it was a power line but it didn’t shake at all and the line didn’t move so it must’ve happened earlier and it just couldn’t take the stress for so long
This helicopter clearly identifies as a fish.
Why didn’t he just land it when he noticed the fire from the beginning? Just landed in the street
Bingo.
Maybe pilot nor passengers didn’t see a fire on the out side of helicopter
The whole tail just broke off😮😮😮😮😮
And that’s why helicopter should not be allowed to fly over populated neighborhoods
How the cops gonna catch the bad boys tho
Thank God that everyone survived, that pilot had no control of that helicopter it looks like it just went down. It could of been worse he crashed into a apartment building. Only 2 people and 2 crew members had to go to the hospital. I hope they were all right. 😮
3 people died, 2 on the ground in their apartment and the pilot.
R u alright is my main question
Many newbies mistakenly call it Acrobatics. Actually, it’s called Aerobatics.
Respectfully though, glad these souls survived that terrifying mishap. 👍
3 people died, the pilot and 2 people in the apartment building.
@eerohughes Are you saying the media-news is wrong?
😅😅😅😅😅
From the looks of the tail tells me they must do regular maintenance every other year 🥴
The fact that noone died is amazing given how uncontrollable helicopters are when they are spinning into a crash only to have the rotors ripping through anything in close proximity until all momentum is exhausted! Survive impact, usually, only to be rushed through deaths door from vengeance of whatever the blades are gonna deal out! That spinning is one sick carnival ride of deah! Speedy recovery to all!
3 people died, the pilot and 2 people in the apartment building.
So much for the rescue
Low altitude keep helichopter crew survived. Thats why a stupid idea bringing helichopter into higher altitude
Florida again. That fukn figures.
Why wouldn’t he land before this tho? There some joe Biden documents in that building ? 😂
I’m sorry for the pilot but he should have put that helicopter down as soon as the fire started. He flew that chopper for at least 60 seconds after the engine was fully engulfed in flame. Those engines are noted for burning through the fuselage when they catch on fire.
THE WHOLE TAIL BROKE
i’m guessing a lack of preventative maintenance
