Swedish Helicopter Crash

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.

Why would they do that??

TerraKhansays...

Wow... that is the reason you don't want a helicopter pilot who is afraid of heights.

He really "BORKED" that one up didn't he?

That1Swede says...

Wasn't this a birthday present for someone and they were the narb 'flying' it at the time?

Oh, and, b0rk.

That1Swede says...

Oh yeah, birthday-boy wasn't flying, but a passenger.

Carl Zetterlund, a Swedish man who survived a helicopter crash on his 100th birthday, has died of his injuries.

Zetterlund, his son, grandson and great-grandson were taking a helicopter flight to the Stockholm archipelago on Tuesday to celebrate his birthday.

But the Lithuanian-registered MI-2 helicopter crashed shortly after leaving the nursing home in Heby, about 100 kilometres northwest of Stockholm.

Everyone on the flight survived with nothing more than cuts and bruises, but the 100-year-old Zetterlund was flown to Uppsala University Hospital as a precaution.

He had been in stable condition at the time of the crash, but his condition worsened and he died on Friday, said the hospital.

Prosecutors are investigating the crash, which was captured by a Swedish television crew.

That's really tragic Not sure what the pilot was thinking hovering it around all those trees suburbia junk.
