10 Helicopter Accidents and Mistakes Caught on Camera 

Just a heads up, the helicopter could not ever be in the air without the blades spinning... What happens is the blades end up matching the shutter speed of the camera due to videos just being a series of pictures in rapid succession. It's called "rolling shutter"

4:20 i believe this accident was caused by the ships bobbing

To the narrator: "Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt."

9: It looks more like the back of the ship suddenly pitched down and, since the helicopter was almost at neutral buoyancy, it "lifted" off (actually staying in the same position while the deck went downward). You can see that the deck went down once before the accident and the helicopter looked like it was about to take off but didn't.

The person who wrote the narration for the video has no clue what he's talking about! 😒😂

For a while I didn't have a car . . . I had a helicopter . . . no place to park it, so I just tied it to a lamp post and left it running.

10:53 You dont seriously think the main rotor has stopped, do you? The effect you're seeing is the result of frame rate in the video creating the illusion the blade has stopped. Helicopters don't stay in the air if the main rotor stops. That's kind of a given, chief.

10:53 LOL, if those blades really had stopped spinning it would drop like a brick.

Who picked this guy to narrate. He knows Nothing about helicopters. "The top rotor stopped while the tail rotor caused the accident" Nothing else he said i could believe after that one,,,

@6:44 i don't think the sharply turning wheel caused the chopper to spin..... it was rudder input that did...

kissing blades 😂 sounds like an awesome kung fu / action movie 💪

Hunters in upside down helicopters is my new favourite thing.

One summer our forestry crew had to use the US Forest Service helicopters to reach a remote location on the forest. We were 2 person crews. We used maps and aerial photos to direct our pilot were to go. Our pilot was able to drop down in a hole in the tree canopy just feet from the tail and blades. The pilot hovered about a foot off the ground. As my co-worker stepped out the chopper raised a little. Then I stepped out. He was a great pilot. However, the thought did do go thru my mind that I hoped he didn’t have any flashbacks because he was an ex Nam pilot.

@12:46 don't be this guy, YOU call 911 too. Cause everyone is like this guy and says "someone else will call 911" then nobody calls. Edit: OMG then he is like "see there is people there" yeah fool, helping! You want them to stop so they can dial 911 while you record?

good lesson from the dad to son about not letting the bystander effect happen. its so harmful. "but there are people there" "doesnt matter." very good. needs to be said and taught more often.

The rotors bunched to one side ??????? causing ground effect. wtf

Shooting animals from a helicopter, and then the helicopter crashes.... sounds like Karma to me!

Keeps calling them "birds". Very "How do you do, fellow helicopter pilots?"

Blades 'don't stop turning'. It is an optical illusion created by the camera.

November 17th was the day I was born I didn't know this happened on that day😮😮

If you stood on all of the paper work. You could see your house from here.

When helicopters lose control, it's often a terrifying sight. The sudden instability can cause them to spiral or plummet rapidly, leaving little time for recovery. The unpredictability of such accidents makes them incredibly dangerous, as even minor malfunctions can lead to catastrophic consequences.

How is it that animals always seem to provide the best incredible moments caught on camera?

10:50 "it looks like the top rotors have stopped spinning but the tail rotor is still going. This cause it to spin" The fact that it carried on hovering is totally lost on the narrator.

14:27 AIR WOLF?

10:41 there is no REAR motor. You mean Rotor. lol

Firstly- these clips are ancient... seen them all Second- your comments are technically way off...

A video made by someone who knows nothing about Helicopters. Now I'll sit back and wait for the flood of comments to come in.

Helicopters are dangerous 😅😮😢

The robot voice sounds like he has a sinus infection

10:52 dude that's rolling shutter on the camera, the rotor blades have not stopped spinning and what are you on about with the 'rear' motor, the tail rotor is driven by the same engine via the gearbox! The spin was caused by tail issues, ether poor pilot control or a fault, nothing to do with the main rotor.

In a helicopter,the rear blades should have an additional emergency mechanical rotor brakes, to quickly reduce the unwanted tailspin. Such an installation, is deemed necessary as a safety precaution, after watching the tailspin effect on the loss of control of the pilot on the helicopter. This installation can be added by the helicopter manufacturing companies and engineers, technicians associated with helicopters after careful considerations.

We need the dislike counter back.

That first crash was caused by an improperly set magneto switch, if I recall correctly.

Wild horses wouldn’t get me up in a Robinson.

Helicopters are amazing and valuable machines. But, the margin for error is VERY low. Something goes wrong, you're going down in a hurry.

Let me correct the details a bit. Mentioned Kedarnath Temple is 24 Kilometers by foot and no road connects it means you can either go there by hiking or by the chopper. Not by a car at all. Its one of the most difficult temples to reach in India.

11:02, sheesh. The rotors didn't stop. It's just a match in frequency between the rotor speed and shutter speed. If the rotors had stopped as they appeared to, the helicopter would have no lift and would have fallen like a brick. That had nothing to do with the accident, it was the camera 100%. Tail rotor, yeah, that was probably the issue.

00:40 7:10 How sad. 2:10 Karma. 5:56 An extremely costly mishap. 7:19 Fortunately, not unfortunately. 8:33 Good for her delivering karma to these three. 11:22 Me, when first learning how to land a helicopter in GTA V. 12:40 Who's that guy calling his god? 13:37 The helicopter was never alive in the first place, Mr. Underworld Narrator. 12:52 it appears it only shook it into two. That's far from it being shook "to pieces". 19:54 Some people are prone to motion sickness from how a vehicle they are riding in is moving (like myself). Other's it is from watching shaky video (like my brother). I saw nothing in this video that could cause anyone viewing it to experience motion sickness.

02:00 the engine goes off you can ser it at the MAP indicator. I think you can see the ignition key position before take. It is not in the both position? 🙈

12:48 "No, there's people everywhere there, someone's gonna call." Just fucking call. 13:08 "Dad there's people there." "Doesn't matter." Assuming he was calling 911. Absolute gigachad.

Helicopter name? 4:11

good job on pilot land safe all 3 intro video

VRS and Ground resonance needs to be looked into more carefully.

I grew up 32 miles from Albany …In Cisco Tx😂❤

18:43 some politicians will refrain themselves from flying helicopters

7: Hog hunting? Who is the hog here? This is a chase and shooting untill no more running. Multitasking looks different! - Still missusing the term Mother Nature? 9: Having no clue about framerates and spinning rotors? After so many movies?

This is just a hunch, but I bet airplanes think helicopters are assholes.

I so love helicopters. I'm scared of flying, but I'll jump straight into a helicopter when asked because they're super safe.

Helicopters are creepy 😮

Dude, you clearly know nothing about helicopters! Rather narrate a swimming competition....

Can you believe on the fate of the same helicopter Agusta 130 on helipad near Kedarnaath temple on high altitude . Uttarakhand India which had a tail rotors service issue .ended up spinning and miraculous uneven landing near the low land of the pad harming no one...had to get airlift to next airport for repairing by MI17 helicopter of IAF on August 31 after flying few minutes ,i thing little careless pilot having too fast forward speed made a suspending helicopter in turbulence , was giving trouble to big bird too m pilot decided to drop it on the bank of the river . a holy helicopter met to horrific end sadly .

Almost everything the narrator said in this video was wrong... lol.

Those Robinson helicopter are like GMC trucks never reliable.

Real fucking Einsteins in the comment section who have the audacity to act like they know shit, while simultaneously hearing "motor" at 10:40 when the narrator CLEARLY says "rotor". What a fucking joke.

One time afraid train was coming and it scared birds away. Of course I have a video of that.

Did the hogs eat 'em?

Oh more old hat videos repeatedly shown as new

@3:23 Reworded "known for harassing people and breaking thousands of laws every year"

Under 1 hour 👇

New subscriber here 😊

Recycling more old shit yet again

Nah my country Italy have ha helicopter crash

Ok❤❤❤

alr time to sit down and watch

Hunting boar from a helicopter is NOT HUNTING it is SLAUGHTER. They kill for the hogs damage to crops and leave the boar to ROT where they shoot. DISGUSTING & sad.😡😡😡

A LOT of BS in this vid

Yo I am the 270th viewer

??? It was too warm/ hot in the after noon for enough lift???

Terrible narration...no understanding of video

Too many moving parts on a helicopter.anything can go wrong! the narrator is making a lot of terminology mistakes

petition to rename this compilation “10 videos that make you shit your pants on someone else’s behalf”

Hope that reporter told them where to stick their job.

Murphy's law trump's all safety concerns

Same old crap. Reruns

The narrator is just asking for comments, bro the rotors didn't effing stop...you should do more research than just spit out random bullshit.

16:26 the pilot was in training to be sent to Ukraine because it was a rookie he didn't see or know the wire was there, THIS HAS BEEN ON THE NEWS

Helicopter helicopterr

0:15 then two police helicopters in calaform the broken aprar after kissing blades

Nice

Such a stupid way and a huge waste to take care of the pig problem that way!

I hate hunters

KARMA for hog hunters!

Well this is the last "Underworld" video I'll be watching. There is just so much bullshit spewed out by the narrator, just ... wow

Robinson helicopters suck

You can’t pay me enough to get into a helicopter

Why wasn't the Twilight Zone helicopter crash shown? It was definitely caught on camera.

Yo

aww you didn't include the malaysian rehearsal crash , probably because of fatalities . .

When they mentioned Indian chopper crashes I was expecting to see a helicopter with people hanging on the outside of it like Indians do with trains.

I.m the first like and comment 😊

🥳🥳🥳

These are so old

13:44 The transportation safety boar of canada(tsb):❌️ The strongest battle ground(tsb):✅️

Not as bright as the sun iv noticed

There's SO many things wrong in this video by the narrator, I'm shocked. But what makes it even worse, is that most people in the comments don't even realize it and take everything serious. How can you produce a video without having any knowledge about helicopters and physics? *1.* 4:56 NO. The pilot was caught off guard by the ship suddenly being in a downward motion while the helicopter with it's running rotors had much more drag and therefore basically fell slower than the stern of the ship which lifted him off the deck. The pilot reacted quickly but over-corrected the forward momentum and struck the deck with the tail rotor. *2.* 6:35 wheeled helicopters don't have power steering. The front wheel has a spring mechanism to recenter the wheel after takeoff and can be locked in it's straight forward position for parking. Helicopters are being steered by tail rotor inputs via the pilots pedals, even on the ground, and the front wheel just follows the motion of the fuselage. In this case the pilot didn't "hAvE tRoUbLe LaNdInG" on the empty helipad. Instead they were about to leave and the pilot wanted to taxi the aircraft to the takeoff-position (altough helicopters CAN take off anywhere, it's not allowed everywhere). As I mentioned, while being parked, the front wheel is usually locked. The pilot wanted to turn the helicopter to the left, forgot to disengage the wheel lock and when he figured it out, just unlocked the wheel with full left pedal and the aircraft went into an unrecoverable spin. *3.* 10:40 f*ck me in the ass and call me jesus, there's so much wrong in this case... there is no "rear motor", the tail rotor is driven via drive-shaft by the turbine(s) which also power(s) the main rotor. If the main rotor would stop spinning, the helicopter would fall out of the sky and it's blade would brake upwards because they only are stiff enough to lift the whole thing by the centrifugal forces when at full RPM. But the rotor RPM in this case was absolutely fine, it's the camera which makes it look like it stopped. Google "Rolling Shutter Effect" to learn more about this phenomenon. In fact, in this case something happened which is called loss of tail rotor effectiveness (LTE), where a vortex around the tail rotor occurs and it sucks in it's own blown air. This is induced by several causes, mostly strong sidewinds. The bad thing about the LTE is, the more you try to counter it with more tail rotor input, the worse the vortex effect get's. The only thing he could have done, is input forward movement and fly the helicopter out of this miserable situation. But he didn't... The exact same phenomenon also happened to the red Bell 407 in the last clip, but in this case at around 20:25 you can see how the pilot induced forward motion trying to mitigate the ineffective tail rotor (which he successfully did!). Thank me later...

Collisions and Mistakes are two very different aspects or “things”. If someone is killed in their home while watching TV due to a drunk driver crashing into his/her living room it’s not a “mistake”. If a child is killed while sleeping in their own bed due to gunfire is not a “mistake”. You compile vids without compunction to the difference.

3:41 definitely pilot error, but accidents like this happen all the time at sea.
