That is one proper mistake.............. I bet that sank rather quickly, I hope the crew escaped. It looked rather windy and it just caught it and flipped it, but the approach was a bit flawed from the beginning. Nasty.........

He came in too hot and hit the guard rail around the helipad. He then tried giving it full power to get out of trouble, but the rear landing gear snagged and destabilised the machine.

There were small boats in the water seconds away who rescued 11 men, the other 7 died...

Jeez, not good, you can see a couple of the people being thrown into the air. Not nice at all. And to think they 'practice' in those things in pitch black around us at night, low flying exercises, I'm waiting for them to take the chimney off or something.
