Swedish Helicopter Crash



Uploaded by: slvgdvg
Video Description:
6/21/05 - STOCKHOLM, Sweden
I got this footage from last week. In the paper they say the "video showed the rotor blades of the Lithuanian-registered MI-2 helicopter hitting a tree, then clipping the top off a lamp post."
I never noticed the lamp being cut down, but you can clearly see it if you focus on it. This was the guy's birthday present, a helicopter ride! Instead he got a helicopter ride to the hospital.

Re-post: The crash ... ( 2 days ago by mkarnerfors)
Re-post: The crash was caused by partial engine failure as the fuel diffuser for one of the engines got blocked, reducing power output of the engine to about half and unexpectedly preventing rising above ground effect.
The pilot did not want to set down again because onlookers were dangerously close and he was not able to maintain stable hover. Instead he opted to gain speed since that would add lift. He had scouted the path beforehand and made the call that there would be clearance. (cont'd)
(cont.) The report ... ( 2 days ago by mkarnerfors)
(cont.) The report from the Swedish Accident Investigation Board (the equivalent of the NTSB) places no blame on the pilot for this accident and notes that his actions after the crash helped prevent the accident from escalating into a disastrous fire.
Google for "Report RL 2007:15e" (include the quotes) and the first hit will be the accident report in english. Read it before you post stupid comments of the kind "ZOMFG!!11 IDIOT PILOT lulz!!"

The crash was caused because this vile bitch sabotaged the helicopter in order to collect on her husband's life insurance.

are you fucking kiding me? every one can see its clearly the dumb ass piolets fault. o my god. i would personally kill that guy. you dont take a helicopter that size down a frigen neighborhood street. he should have took straight up off. a 3 year old would not even attemp what he was trying to do. and if the heli got away from him he should have killed the motor and autorotation it down right were it set. this world is full of idiots.hope the passenger is ok.

WHAT??? For the ... ( 13 hours ago by stevenabb)
WHAT??? For the first 30 seconds of the video the helicopter was hovering about 2 - 4 feet above the ground and traversed laterally at a slow manageable speed. Nobody was standing in the initial flight path??? If you either reduce the throttle or or let up on the collective lift the chopper would lower itself due to gravity vs. thrust. 30 seconds of dead lift is a respondable situation. That is just poor airmanship! No excuses! Yes I have aborted a landing... HE SUCKS.
He doesn't have the ... ( 13 hours ago by mkarnerfors)
He doesn't have the margins needed to perform a safe and controlled landing,
As you can see he's drifting... not really able to maintain stable hover. If he sets down at that point, he's risking tipping the helicopter and getting into a dynamic rollover, from which he will not be able to recover because he doesn't have the power needed to quickly get up again.
This means that the rotor will be starting to slice up ground and, in the worse case, onlookers.
Hindsight is 20/20.

But sure... since you know so much better, call the Swedish Accident Investigation Board and tell them that their investigation is flawed and that you, from watching a YouTube video, know so much better than they do.
Go right ahead... I dare you.
Honestly... look at ... ( 13 hours ago by stevenabb)
Honestly... look at the video clip from 21 seconds to 30 seconds. Are you really saying he could not power down in that time frame. He does have pitch and yaw control. His lateral motion is minimal. I stand by my comments that he could have set it down. He had 20 prior seconds of "hmm... why is my chopper not going up?" If you are able to recover into a reasonably static hover 3 feet above the ground and you could not obtain lift after 20 prior seconds of try... PUT IT DOWN.

*sigh* You weren't there, you didn't fly it... all you have is a video and highsight.
