Poor soul trying to help as good as he can.
Back rotor broke and made it spin out. If your wondering why it spun even though the top blades were alright, is because that rotor is what counters it and keeps it balanced
Expensive mistake! 😬
So THAT'S why they need the rear rotor!
He came in wayyyyy to hot.
Guy must be new.
So much is wrong here but most importantly everyone is well ❤
Looks fun
He descended too fast. Hover down slowly dip bucket. Lift up slowly
Who ever owned that chopper, my heart goes out to you and your pockets.
Rope was too short for carrying load over water.
Best Camera Man Ever
👏👏👏👏👏good job frenchies. Snob your way out of this one
Hit that vortex gotta watch that decent rate
at least in france, it’s not the token woman screaming
They want to go support Ukraine 🇺🇦 against Russia 🇷🇺
What a joke of a country France 🇫🇷 is
I’m no pilot but at the tree line I realized he was going in
Meanwhile someone house still burning down there and now they have two emergencies to handle smh 😢
Pilot error.
Pilot error
This happened because the water was as smooth as glass. Without any waves, the pilot will have trouble with depth perception.
Why were the witnesses transported to the hospital? 😅
AI?
Did the water break the rear rotor?
AI
France can't even put out a simple fire
France
And a witness? Bro was tryna collect 😂
Rope too short & the pilot came in too fast
Small bucket of water in exchange for a huge amount of burnt fuel ⛽️
DEI at work
Fine example why drones save lifes
Oo lala oo lala
I’m very happy they all ok, but I have to be honest, the man screaming was a bit funny 😅
So French men are like American women just scream 😂 good to know
did he vortex?
Maybe there's a fire going on inside the cockpit…
Judging distance is really really hard with water.
Looks like AI
this is called stilling with power or Vortex ring state. the main rotor is in its own wash causing it drastically lose lift
Probably the first bath they've taken in months
Stick drift
Looks like he lost lift power
Tail rotor delete
Best place for it to have happened
“Oooo lalaashhhh”
I mean. All things considered i think you survive that crash no? As long as you can get out of your fkn seat.
Way too hot
Poor A star
