| Notice how it just all goes to pot when he crosses over that ridge to the "outside" of the stadium area? Yikes. |

| You are commenting on the wrong video but anyway....The explanation says the cause was determined to be that the helo was overweight. Baaa You can hear the turbine lose power just after he leaves the stadium. Also, if it got off the ground and flew out of ground effect, it seems unlikely it was over weight. Besides it was only 400 pounds over.

| Did I see the pilot check his cell phone when the cameraman got out?

| That's funny you say that. I noticed that right away when I watched it. I wanted to see if anyone else saw that.

| It is always good to see pros in action. Looked like a very nice approach. I wouldn't mind landing on a highwy. I land on some dirt roads now and I get tired of the cockpit filing with dust when we come to a hover. The EC135 is a great ship and taking over a lot of the 407 flying. As to the the stadium crash it sounded like he pulled to much power and was high, hot, and heavy. If you pull more than what you got the rotor RPM will decay quick. 400 lbs can be a killer in that situation. Shane

| Old Skool | I just watched this the other day...pretty cool video. Life flight would be awesome except I'm not sure I would like all the screaming from the back.
