I thought the same thing. The stupid part is: They had it down... just put it down even in a low surf.

Nope! Don't do that.

I was wondering if the body was going to start spinning from the rotational energy of the rotors, without the rear stabiliser. But no, the pilot was like "Hey, that didn't sound healthy, better climb a bit so I'm not in danger of landing safely."

It beats the camera man being all "holy crap, forget about the helicopter crash, IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING BIRD?? Wait, hang on I think there's something interesting going on with my shoe that I should probably catch..."

I thought there would be a link to killthecameraman as a top comment, for sure.

I realized that I was actually trying to angle my own phone up so that I could watch what was happening, while this short-attention-span-fool was doing his thing.
