Seems to have tail rotor authority. Too bad that van didn’t get out of the way.

If the pilot safely landed a malfunctioning helicopter, that is great airmanship!

Wow! He did the best he could do with the least he had, and everything going south fast. Kudo’s to that pilot!

One other impressive thing in the video. The second part of the video showed numerous people, including young women, running straight in to help. It wasn’t even through moving and they didn’t wait to see if there would be a fire.
Refreshing to see that instead of 20 people all pointing their cell phones out it. Sometimes Mexicans are OK in my book.

any landing you can walk away from is a good one..

Normally when a chopper fails, it falls. good work pilot!

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

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

Excellent job of getting her back on the ground.

Auto-rotations are a biotch.

Kudos to those running to give a hand.

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