At one point, the helo looked like it wanted to tip on its side & he corrected, kept it righted - some great flying.

I’m sure a lot of the electronics have already gone to Moscow and Beijing and Tehran.

Tail rotor control failure. Good job with what he had left.

“The second part of the video showed numerous people, including young women, running straight in to help.”
Running in while pieces of the blades are flying around!
To: Red Badger
That looks like fun you can only have in the military!

Agree, another option would have been to try to get some airspeeddid a good job getting it on the deck.

Pilot was very lucky that he didn’t hit the power lines.

He probably wasnt trying to use the white bus as a cushion but it did absorb some of the crash.

Excellent job of getting her back on the ground.
Auto-rotations are a biotch.
Kudos to those running to give a hand.

Yep, seems clear. Tail rotor is the only thing prevents the helo body from rotating the opposite of the rotor.

Started to auto rotate, like a problem with the tail rotar, it seems to be going very slow.

I was a CH-53E mechanic in the nineties. Semper fi!
