Helicopters Crashing Compilation

helicopter crash Compilation 2017

Helicopters have always scared the shit out of me. Poor glide ratio, small prospects of surviving a crash, and the number of crashes all combine to make flying in them unnerving. I've only flown in one once and I have to admit I felt like a billionaire mogul when my girlfriend and I were dropped off at a polo match (bizarre-only one I've ever been to) and people looked at my girlfriend and I like we were famous-I actually looked like a bum and my girlfriend went to school with the pilot.

I used to ride in a helicopter 2+ times a day every day for work.  I actually really enjoyed flying in them and felt pretty safe, but its always in the back of your mind that shit can hit the fan.  For us fog/weather and mountain conditions was a bigger risk than mechanical failures.  Once you're above the "dead man's curve" they're pretty safe.  If the machine is moving two slow relative to its altitude you just drop like a stone, but if you have enough forward velocity relative to its altitude you can safely land, and in a much smaller area than fixed wing aircraft.  Autorotation landings are incredibly soft, but you only get one shot at it.
