This is a Turbine Enstrom Helicopter on the Heli
Pad of a Greenpeace ship some where off the coast
of Ireland. One of the deck straps has not been
released correctly, with what was very nearly
disastrous consequence. Pilot skill and quick
thinking saved the day. Tags :EnstromHelicopterAccident
6/21/05 - STOCKHOLM, Sweden
I got this footage from last week. In the paper
they say the "video showed the rotor blades of the
Lithuanian-registered MI-2 helicopter hitting a
tree, then clipping the top off a lamp post."
I never noticed the lamp being cut down, but you
can clearly see it if you focus on it. This was
the guy's birthday present, a helicopter ride!
Instead he got a helicopter ride to the hospital. Tags :helicoptercrashairplanetakeofflandingcrash
Yes, it does back flips. It is a Eurocopter
BO-105 CBS 4 Twin engine helicopter. Stock model
with a Rigid Rotor system, the fixed rotor is why
it can do aerobatics.

How can this thing fly? No rotor blades turning,
it defies the laws of physics!
Before anyone says, I know how it is flying, the
frames per second of the camera recording are
exactly the same as the rotations of the rotor
blade per second. So don't be a smart-ass and post
this, I already know :)
