Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter dandyman.

As the original video has completely overshadowed this one (which in my opinion gives a more close-up & therefore BETTER view of what happened)......this vid isn't getting the attention it deserves, so:-

*Doublepromote
*Quality

Landing area? - CLEAR!
Landing horn? - CHECK!
Landing steel rope? - WHAT?

holy crap man your helicopter is NOT supposed to make that noise

Imagine spending your whole career filming boring things, then while running for two seconds to a better vantage point, a helicopter crashes just metres behind you. I'd be kicking myself for years.

Another angle, slo-mo, but he station's idiot ID covers the rotor.

At 3:33 one guy saw it coming, still managed to turn the camera around from a safer distance

I'm very certain this isn't the case, but it looks like it landed on someone. Looks like a reflective vest and a bloody arm under the wreck.

It didn't. The only injury was a small graze on the pilot's hand, and possibly a few pairs of ruined underwear

How is that guy supposed to land or maneuver that chopper with that cable attached and very little slack in it? I don't see how he could possibly land or even get low enough to detach that cable. Looks like it'd be just long enough to hit the ground running straight down.

Yea that's what I thought too. Everyone was helping the old guy, then I got quite a shock when I saw the body looking thing under the chopper.
