#helicoptercrash #colombia #nbcnews
If you notice, all you see is people inside the helicopter holding on their phones. My GOD, I would be holding for my life.
Pablo!
Free market system in Columbia knows no limits or boundaries when a restaurant can double in commercial aviation even if it did get a license what meaning is it when this happens?
Do heart surgeons double as butchers too?
Well at least she still has her phone.
I am 52. Absolute NO explanation (money, physical, health, look) why I am single but I am for 18 months now and I swear I had never seen a guy that lucky, beautiful fiancée and survive helicopter crash.
God please, I just ask for someone in my arms to love. Please.
The pilot didn’t account for the weight of all the cocaine.
Thank goodness everyone is alright. The pilot did good at controlling the crash but for him to jump out and leave his passengers doesn’t say much for his character.
😂 dining experience 😂
Definately not an engine failure.. but loss of tailrotor authority for some reason. I can understand the pilots decision to jump beeing stuck with such douchy “social media stars” pax in a wedged craft.
this is what happens when you try to save money by buying a helicopter with no tail rotor.
jeeze that one guy knew he was fine he just had to be dramatic for his accounts, yea look at his girlfriends pose, she looks really shaken up
That pilot went right home.
They are so lucky. This is another reason why I don’t do these types of things in other countries.
You do know almost 10 american military helicopters have crashed in the last 3 months right? No? Okay 👍
It looked like the rotor needed matinence. Work needs signed off on rotor to prop . 35 hours check up. Mandatory.
How was the Food…
The social media obsessed people got the attention they so desperately crave
Mom wanted to know when he what getting home. The girlfriend cared more about her looks.
Poor drug lords. Next time get a limo
Super scary , stay away from helicopters and planes man ..keep ur feet on the ground
“Influencers” is a vulgar dirty word. Gross.
We can’t even have a helicopter crash without a social media influencer exploiting it for fame and subs.
A coward is one who speaks on behalf of his people out of fear of them
A coward is someone who uses his great strength to protect himself but is unable to protect himself
The criminal who brutally kills children and has no mercy on defenseless people
A tyrant is someone who wants his position with full force at the expense of the lives of others
PUTIN
Imagine recording yourself calling your dad to say goodbye.
What a joke, Those 🤡 saw the opportunity for clout and took it.
But what was the restaurant’s negligence?
Maybe they didn’t provide any food while they waited those 3 hours 😂
Rich kids creating social media “content.”
I’ve changed my mind, I believe in God.
Black Mirror
Kobe !
That’s what pilots call a day wrecker.
She could be dead and she’s striking poses…people are seriously dumb
The way he casually thanks his dad, like it wasn’t the first time lol.
🤣
😂😂😂😂
Russians invaded Youtube while on lock down (pandemic) and then you got brain washed to be a communist. Still going on and people don’t even realize it.
That’s why you hate America now…Wake up maga
Amazingly they’re actualy designed with falling out of the sky in mind.
Can’t do that in a plane!
I would never ever take a helicopter from another country they. do not have the regulations that we have here in America and for that pilot just to jump out he’s a coward. I hope they sue and Sue Big😏😔
It was part of the fine dining experience
Yeah they misinterpreted sunny side up, Spanish is like that…
Just say no to restaurant helicopter rides.
So the pilot dipped? Care to elaborate?
Airwolf.
Truly amazing!!! Never dropped the cell phone never stopped recording. Dedication to social media is strong in this couple. LOL Society is on a downward spiral. More scary than that helicopter footage.
That’s nothing. This happens in Florida about once a week now.
They got an experience alright.
What a drama queen… Only thing on his mind was clicks… bank..
I don’t believe this
Great piloting! The pilot kept the helicopter as stable as possible saving all on board. Good job to the pilot
“Gods gonna save us”…right after he crashes our helicopter.
Those two better never split up!
Well it’s Colombia, what do you expect?
The lord was there bless them
Was that part of the experience?
The bright red lipstick with matching coloured earrings is quite the touch.
100% pilot error. Pulled heavy power and pushed over with a tail wind. Bozo move. Loss of tailrotor effectiveness. And he just let it get worse
Pilot grabbed the coke and bailed…
I feel like i’m seeing at least one helicopter crash a week on the news lately 💀
0:31 You can’t get any luckier than that, and God has nothing to do with it, unless God is a pilot and a technician. It was just lucky circumstances. 👌
Funny how people say “God is going to save us” but they never say it is God who caused the crash in the first place
And they still have their mobiles in their hands 😏
#JesusIsGod
seatbelts and safety harnesses matter
Holding onto her mobile hahahahahah nm ey
lolol
I Love You 💞 I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD JESUS CHRIST 🌹 HEBREWS 1:.., JOHN 3:16 LIVE👑 Your Sins are Forgiven👑 play loud WANDE -“ICONIC”👑Still Repent🙏
How cheap is the meal that rhey offered a helicopter Ride? I wouldn’t trust the food and much less the helicopter safety
I love how that dumb b wouldnt let go of her cell phone no matter what
Everyone brace for impact with one hand so you can hold your phone with the other!
Notice how the helicopter is right side up on the side of the building. But the video footage of the inside shows them upside down!
Looking for social media content.
Wow. Now that’s a real “careful what you wish for, you might get it.” situation.
Pilot…. im gonna go het help …. immediately goes home for the day
Pilot didn’t seem to have control of the aircraft, at any point?
Its posible a malfuction with the tail controls failed the moment it take off, at that point you couldn’t do nothing and let alone able to react on time wich on this case, pretty sure it caught the pilot by suprise and was already to late to land the helicopter safetly
God is going to save you, but he did not keep you from crashing?!
The pilot jumped out, imagine the person who was driving it just says bye! And you’re sitting there and he’s like you guys can’t move. Then he goes on to sue the company boy you best watch your own back
they def got content for their channel…
cell phone tower we all know what happened there electronics cell tower haahahah
1:41 — No, I’m pretty sure the rescue workers are gonna do that.
Louisa looks like she’s in love with herself! Taking a selfie in the elevator. LOUISA, PUT DOWN THAT PHONE! ☎️
The pilot jumped out and ran while his girlfriend was busy saying “monday tuesday friday thursday sunday…”
(Ok nobody will get this joke) 😀
Did not called his mother, if you notice….And he had plenty of time to do that….Hmmm….???
LTE
Wow, they are so lucky.
“There are no atheists in a foxhole”
I like my food without the helicopter ride. Helicopter rides are high in cholesterol.
Blatant insurance fraud attempt
Blatant insurance fraud attempt..
They for sure had some great footage for social media. Mission accomplished
The dude that called his dad never felt more alive. Now it’s ok if you never trump that…
Calling his dad for some self serving YouTube video. Loser.
wouldn’t change anything about his life? Bro, you could have died in a plane crash with your GIRLFRIEND.. if you love her enough to leave this Earth with her, put a ring on it.. otherwise stop wasting each other’s time..
J/K because honestly, for all I know they been together for 2 months and aren’t that serious.. but they took a trip, they’re spending money, they’re making memories.. seems pretty serious..
que mmda fue esta
LISTEN up…. Its warzone rookie time, im here to upgrade your iq…. OR NOT… this is the medias way of brainwashing everyone thats there real hidden agenda they do this by reporting on real stuff and all the news anchors need to look speak and sound a certian way, dont worry i know your confused and think im crazy…. I dont expect you to be able to grasp what i am saying as its big brain material.
They got some content all right….
Proof that communists can’t even fly helicopters.
Another story about the camera man never dies.
So we all die with phones in our hands.
HELICOPTER PILOTS, Please comment on what you think happened here. I’m fixed wing and don’t know much about choppers.
God Bless all who were involved in this rescue.
Someone mixed fuel with cocaine.
Engine start, no problem, 5 minute, tidin tidin tidin, engine kaputt
😮😮
Of course he plans to sue, they always do.
I hate helicopters.
This looks more like a bad tail rotor that didn’t spin up properly or wasn’t spinning fast enough. Because the tail rotor is what keeps the helicopter stable.
