I'm a LCDR USCG i fly Rotor:H-60's,65's. Fixed: C-130's & HC-144's. Certain Wire strike accidents will happen coming from the air. But once you are on the ground their is No Excuse 0 Tolerance. I've also been an instructor pilot and that was one of the things i burned into my students. Because once you are on the ground you can see the area. i always go in and out of the LZ the same exact way, just because you know it works and won't ever fail you. common sense type thing it's a no brainier!!! Pilots forget the responsibility they have Not only for the crew and patient but for people on the ground around you. you could kill somebody throwing debris or losing control and crashing into a crowd,house,etc.

odeis5 The problem, and mistake, is making the pedal turn in the first place. It was an error, plain and simple. As for your "trees are bending to the right" nonsense, that is from rotor downdraft and that wind travels in EVERY direction equally. You really have NO idea what you are talking about.

odeis5 What nonsense, the cost are to high to blindly defend a pilot who clearly made a mistake because he is in the same business. He would have been fine but he spun on his nose instead of the center point of his machine, drifting as he did, which put he tail under the over head wires. Even so he likely would have been better off going straight up then turning. I have worked doing dangerous jobs myself and it only takes one slip of the mind to make a mistake. In my case I am lucky, I smashed the tip of a finger but did not lose it, I could have cost me my right hand altogether. Doesn't stop me from knowing I screwed up when I had no real reason. These pilots as good as they are can be yet can make mistakes too but the cost is high and there is zero tolerance for a reason. He could have lost all in the helicopter and all those EMT personal on the ground due to his mistake. As the captain of the USS Caine said. "There are mistakes and mistakes. The margin for error is narrow here"

I have been a Flight Nurse since 1989 and even I know that you ALWAYS go into and out of an LZ the exact same way... What I don't understand though is why the LZ wasn't in the field where it ended up... A lot of lives were unnecessarily put at risk that day... Hopefully this pilot is no longer flying... At least not until he is better educated on the do's and don'ts of flying these birds... If I'd have had the misfortune of being the Flight Nurse on the mission that day... I guarantee you I would quit my job before I flew with him again... And to klk1900? Awesome post...

I was around choppers a lot as a teen and rarely as an adult. But I have always seen them use fields. The medics or firefighters contact the owner and ask if they can use it (100% of the time was a yes because the closest helipad was further away than what they had the time for). Only once have I seen them land on roadways. That was right outside of my work after someone blew threw a stopsign and destroyed another car. The pilots were super good at the landing too. Powerlines on both sides of the road plus one across the road. They had to fly over the awnings to our fuel pumps PLUS the propane tank to land. First pilot came in smooth and very clean. The second one was holding but they came in weird and almost went down themselves. I am thankful it was Tulsa Life Flight and AirEVAC because they are great here. Eaglemed was our area helicopters but had MAJOR issues with crashing (One of which happened not far from my house at the time). A lot comes down to LZ placement. The person in charge made a big error here

Agreed. I almost never used medivacs in the cities. Once I started working in the mountain regions of West Virginia, I found in a lot of situations (cardiac, CVA, time sensitive trauma, etc) I had a choice of either 1.5 hours ground or 20 minutes with airmedivac. It all boils down to the EMT's call but I rarely see them abused. If anything I find people not willing to use air resources when professionals around them make it seem like a wuss out instead of doing it themselves.

Ok guys, the problem isn't in the take off technique like so many suggest below, it's the stupidly dangerous place he landed to begin with. There's a much better landing spot very close by that he demonstrates in his emergency landing. They just didn't want to have to walk 20 feet to the road to deal with their patient. Honestly, helicopter pilots can be the laziest people ever. I've seen them hop in a $5,000,000 machine, fire it up, fly 40 feet, shut down, refuel, start up and fly 40 feet back to where it was parked, with the ground handling wheels still attached to the skids, and a group of able bodied pilots (that could have helped push) standing around doing nothing. Another good example is when you go to any fly-in event (eg. fly in breakfast), the planes park all over the field, up to a 1/4 mile away from the event, and that one helicopter always flies in, hovers twenty feet from the hundreds of people lined up for breakfast, blows grass and dust all over everyone's food, and lands as close as possible so he doesn't have to walk.

"They're just very lucky .... They did a nice job of walking away from it." Whalen's video (shown here) was used in a TSB investigation that was opened and closed in a matter of hours. The board called it "an unfortunate accident" and said the pilot simply "misjudged the distance." BC Ambulance contracts its air ambulance service to HeliJet. The company wouldn't comment on the mishap except to say the job is inherently risky and it has never had an incident like this before. The pilot has 15 years of flying experience and remains on the job. For the story, go to: bc.ctvnews.ca/air-ambulance-slices-through-telephone-wires-1.622404

The Transportation Safety Board was called in to investigate after a helicopter's blades chopped through a telephone line while taking an injured man to hospital in Pitt Meadows, B.C. The air ambulance was responding after a man pruning trees fell and injured himself on March 16. Advertisement The crew on the ground asked the pilot to land on the road nearby. When he took off again with the patient inside, the chopper's top rotor blades cut into a telephone line, slicing it in two. The tips of the blades were also damaged, and the pilot put the helicopter safely back down in a field. Nobody was injured and the patient was loaded into an ambulance to be driven to hospital. Dan Whalen was nearby and grabbed his video camera when he heard the helicopter. "I have a friend who is a pilot, thought he might be interested in the take-off and was not expecting what we saw," Whalen told CTV News. He was impressed by the pilot's poise, and said it was lucky the blades didn't come apart and hit anyone. "They're just very lucky .... They did a nice job of walking away from it." Whalen's video was used in a TSB investigation that was opened and closed in a matter of hours. The board called it "an unfortunate accident" and said the pilot simply "misjudged the distance." BC Ambulance contracts its air ambulance service to HeliJet. The company wouldn't comment on the mishap except to say the job is inherently risky and it has never had an incident like this before.

For sure. I've had a career as an electrician, and later as a communications telco-lineman. The electrical utility wires that are always above communications, would've been instantly disastrous even if they weren't energized.

It was the main rotor that hit the power line and not the tail rotor, thankfully and did not lose control of help.

jeffg24LT21 The same way they rescue people stuck in mudslides and inaccessable areas and the way they rescued troops in Vietnam, carrying the stretcher to the evac point, into the chopper, and go. And helicopters dont get stuck in mud. You forget they move up.

@@MrWolfSnack Moving the patient likely wasn't the reason they landed on the road. Helicopters can get stuck in mud. Upon landing in the field, it appears as though their front gear sinks. It's fairly common for a skid/wheel to get stuck and result in a dynamic rollover. You can't move up if part of you is stuck to the ground. But I'm not familiar with the S76's capabilities, perhaps it was capable of landing and taking off in that field.

OK, well, I'm no expert, but, common sense would say to ascend the exact same way you descended... in that tight of a spot, slowly adjust the collective, make very small rudder adjustments, then, when clear of obstacles, adjust heading, adjust the cyclic, and fly out...

Nobody in this comment section can really talk shit because anyone of them would have destroyed that aircraft as soon as they left the ground killing everybody on board. so ya can't talk shit about something when you have zero clue and even if you have some kind of a clue if you were in his situation the result probably would have been the same, most likely how I said before in a ball of fire.

+MrDragonman36 yes, you are right... but I was talking about what to do before the initial tail strike... Dumping the aircraft into the field after the initial tail strike WAS the right thing to do...

+Dale Campbell I think I'm just going to end this here before it turns into am argument. let's both agree it's hard to tell anything from this angle we don't know when he took off he might have had to manuver off to the side because those 2 trees could have been in the way of him splitting off, or maybe he did try to exit the way he went in we both and nobody else just don't know because this angle doesn't show shit all it shows is the moment of impact. nothing of how he got in or the terrain 360 the helicopter. but hey that's youtube lol alloy of people like to pull apart videos and make decisions on a 3 minute video when the whole thing probably lasted 45 min- hour it's the same thing with "copblock" videos fuckin hate those guys. anyway getting side tracked so ya let's agree nobody can really say much because the video tells little to nothing about the situation due to its shitty angle

+MrDragonman36 Wow....very relived that you're not flying ...or if you are... nowhere near I. In a confined area departure it is CRITICAL to assess the obstacles before lifting. If this pilot had done that, those lines would of been formost in determined the departure path...and it certainly would not involve an immediate left pedal turn from the hover. Getting into a spot is NO guarantee that you can get out. This comes from a 10,000+ hrs (helos) accident free p.o.v.... so take it with you if you ever decide to try your hand at helo flying or discard it, do what they did and have a very..very short and ignominius career...

The aspect ratio on this video has been changed to make the LZ seem more narrow than it actually is, intentionally or not. The frame is squeezed to make it "taller". Note how things seem taller than they are in real life; the EMS ground vehicles, specifically.

Worst part about this is that if that person really needed air transport, now they don't have it. They are lucky no one got hurt. Helicopter association international says distance should've been 1.5x the length of the helicopter plus an additional 12 feet away from the powerlines for landing. This doesn't look at all close to that.

Luckily it was just the coax cable lines (ultra low voltage) but it was clearly in the way. I'm surprised they even tried to land there.
