Helicopter rotor strikes cable and crashes - video
-
two things that are amazing first the tower was not pulled down and 2nd that the pilot was not seriously injured
-
Everyone watching the main blades and nobody watching the tail.
-
Lifting cable could not be released by the pilot due to a cargo hook malfunction. Ground handler tried pulling the cable free from the hook and the cable was still attached to the tower was pulled into the main rotor.
-
Cable handler is lucky to still have all of his fingers let alone hand as fast as that cable was ripped away from him!
