    #2 Jagermeister, Wow! I wonder if anyone survived. That thing went under without a trace..

    It was actually floating right below the surface. I believe navy helicopter pilots are trained on getting out when the helicopter is upside down in water. I hope they made it out safely.

    #2,
    WHO can figure that you are 50′ taller then you THINK you are.. coming in at 20′ ISNT GOOD.

    #6,
    looks like a BIG wind hit him.

  8. billybob says:

    BIG swell, lifted him right off the deck. He did a real nice job of saving it and putting her right back down again. Wow!

    Jager’s clip was actually shown and explained in detail on the History Channel show Shockwave. If memory serves it was a joint forces training exercise off of California and that helo was loaded with special forces soldiers who were training on retaking/securing the ship that they were landing on. The chopper was supposed to come in and land fast but when the pilot hit the deck too hard he hit the throttle to gain control not knowing that his back wheel was caught on the netting around the ship. When he hit the throttle it just flipped the whole thing over the snagged wheel.

    They interviewed one or two of the guys who survived but around half of that crew did not.

  10. GregAllen says:

    I always wondered why people crouch getting in/out of helicopter even though there is plenty of headroom.

    Now I know!

    Thanks for filling in the details. It’s sad to hear that people died in this accident.
