Re: Helicopter Crash In Louisiana Caught On Dashcam

~ Looks like the main rotor housing broke off, so it also tore apart the cockpit, thus overall airborne failure was eminent.
~ I also deduce the main rotor housing & drive shaft was ill fitted or not maintained properly.
~ The pilot was still loosely secured by the safety harness and was flailed around as it fell, which accounts for his condition & position from the helicopter leftovers.

~ Thank You Yanni, for the update that the helicopter's pilot hit some power lines which caused the accident.
Maybe he was following the same instructions for building your own chopper that the guy in India read?

Re: Helicopter Crash In Louisiana Caught On Dashcam

Helicopter hit those power wires. That is what it looks like when a helicopter hits wires and doesn’t have a wire cutting system installed. We had those systems on our navy helicopters to keep this from happening in the event of flying into wires. The wires ripped the main rotor right out of the main gearbox. Brutal.

You’re all about maintenance.

I think you were harping on brake maintenance in the video of the truck in Mexico that flipped over while carrying a bunch of people trying to make it to the border.

Re: Helicopter Crash In Louisiana Caught On Dashcam

By the way what is it about helicopters that makes them this dangerous? Any time I see the word helicopter is in a news article because it crashed.
