    That's so messed up. Wild footage, although the repeating angles...annoying.

    I can't believe he lived.

    that's insane. if you look closely you'll see the entire tail was vibrating, the structure can't take that kind of massive vibration. i wonder if something on the drive shaft to the tail rotor, or the aft gearbox or the rotor itself failed and/or went out of balance. that's the worst thing that could happen to a helo pilot, at that point you have zero control...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
