Now THIS is something you don’t see often: It seems as if an initially
successful heli landing has turned into a real nightmare for the pilots. When
the wheeliebird touched ground, the unbalance of the slowing-down blades
suddenly began to shake the whole helicopter until it fell apart like lego…

What looks funny at the moment might have been a tremendous shock for the pilots theirselves as you should imagine the rotating blades that swish over your head just few centimetres away.

Despite of that, the whole helicopter fell apart like a malcrafted toy. Just as if it was made of lego… the whole cabin cracked away from the rest of the helicopter. Fortunately no one was harmed at all but this kind of landing will not be forgotten for a very long time.

I wonder what comment the manufacturer of the helicopter will have to read/listen to when the rescue facility from Para (Brasil) will contact them and ask them why that wheeliebird just fell apart like a load of crap.
One thing is for sure… this helicopter won’t do a take-off anymore and receive the glory death of being molten into new steel to form a possibly better and more durable helicopter. One that doesn’t destruct itself eventhough it had a successful touchdown.

Although the fact that 4 persons have got small injuries and the whole spectacle was sort of dangerous, I can’t stop watching the video myself and laughing my ass off when the helicopter starts to dance and fall apart…
