    Video of it up on reddit/youtube. You dont see the crash but you see it beginning to spin out of control.

    That takeoff looked ominous.

    It's been described that they knew something was fucked almost instantly (they barely cleared the roof) and the pilot spent the rest of his efforts making sure he'd crash somewhere empty.

    Not instantly enough to just throttle off and plonk back on the pitch? Or is a takeoff kinda final when it comes to choppers? Granted, the pitchside wouldn't be empty but you'd crash at a slower speed.

    There was smoke billowing out of the back before they even took off. It should never have left the ground.

    Is it? Is that a thing? I've never seen it before, but I don't really watch many helicopter take off videos.

    Yeah I dunno, but you'd hope that they'd know not to take off if that sort of thing was unusual.

    I think that's normal. They have a pipe there that probably needed to vent in the cold weather.

    Just like the exhaust pipes of your car smoke for a few minutes.

    That's just vapour or exhaust gases, the way it spins in the air is absolutely a failure of the rear rotor, an engine or transmission problem would have affected the main rotor as well.

    Some friends wanted me and my wife to join them on a Grand Canyon helicopter tour when we were in Vegas. I said absolutely no chance. You'll never find me in one of those death machines.

    I flew from Belfast to northern England in one before and I always promised myself it would be the last time I ever set foot in one.

    I did this a few months back:
    https://www.goorange.co.nz/en/experi...ver-heli-raft/

    Helicoptering into a narrow gorge, followed by grade 5 whitewater rafting down the river.
    It was awesome.

    Still probably more accurate than Garth Crooks submission.
