Now, I'm sorry, this is just too dang funny. Note how the pole gets extra revenge at the end. Wile E. Coyote (or the US Navy) would be hard pressed to match this...

The Pole should have stayed in Poland.

Yeah, it looks like one of the three-step gags that Wile E. would have subjected himself to.

I think his driver’s permit will be revoked for awhile.

I’m guessing the tail broke off because of failure of the tail rotor drive shaft caused by sudden shock loads on the main rotor that would have resulted from impact of main rotor with the rigid pole.

Sudden changes in RPM of the tail rotor drive shaft interacted with the inertia of the tail rotor, rupturing the drive shaft and tearing the tail off the helicopter.

Supposedly productivity in Russia is crap because half of them are drunk.

It was easy for Putin to seize power because he wasn't drunk. Everyone around him was drunk (Boris Yeltsin).

This looks more like CGI/animation than an actual collision, at least to me. There’s something about the scale that looks off. And I’ve unfortunately seen a helicopter (MH-60) collide with a stationary object (another, unoccupied MH-60) and this vid doesn’t show anything like the debris generated by a real collision. Just my $.02.

Why would there be tall poles at the edge of a landing/takeoff pad?

Why did that one guy on foot show no appropriate reaction to the crash that sent pieces flying past him?

I think this is CGI or video game footage which was intentionally degraded to make it seem authentic.
