Holy Shiat. They must have filled their pants in those few seconds prior to impact.
Choppers are the work of satan himself tbh, whatever about going on a plane - choppers are deffo out of the question.

They are some lucky lucky people - it must of hit wires or something, that or he was a really bad pilot.

Hilarious!

I wonder what the news-chopper crew filming thier rivals crashing thought? "**** that could have been us" or "**** these pictures could be better..."

...best bit at the end when Kent Brockman says "...and now we return you to Jeopardy!" God, I love the USA.

Take my advice, try it. When the QE2 came to Ringaskiddy in the early nineties a few of us took a tour around the harbour and the ship in a helicopter, and it was just bloody amazing. Finding yourself facing the ground when the chopper leans over for a turn is better than any fairground ride I've ever been on. (Although admittedly I haven't been on enough fairground rides.) Expensive, but something everybody should do once.

Hot-air ballooning is next on my list. A little more sedate as I reach the advanced old age of 32...

(That video is amazing btw. Said I'd better say something on-topic.)

PS. I just noticed that CJH was down in Ringaskiddy that day. All I was short was the sniper rifle. "Hold her steady TC!"

Take a flying lesson or two, in a plane that is. Wait till you do stalls and spin recoveries, brown pants time, but great fun.

What kinda money you talking for that Pataman? I've always been tempted since an ex got tokens for her birthday years (and years) ago.
