Ouchies!!!

ouch ! he must drooled at two boats on waves and he didnt pay attention on compicated stuffs to control the helicopter.
 
I don't want to kill the "humor" but this incident did kill some lives. I am not sure the number but I first thought "8" but i realized that was too much. It could be three lives or more. It occured like two years ago... I remembered that clip very well when the local news ran it over and over.

I am not sure where it was located but if it is ran over and over in San Diego news, it must be somewhere close to San Diego. We do have a large military port.

:-/ Those kind of accidents are RISKY. If I remembered correctly, the helicopter did park correctly but the pilot landed just too soon and got the line, that was designed to prevent the airplanes from falling off the ships, and got tangled up with the landing wheel which sent the helicopter overboard... You can see the line that tugged the wheel even with the poor quality of the clip.

It was really sad because it was those guys' first training session. :-(
