- Ice Hotshot Registered: 06/23/05 Posts: 7422 Loc: Philippines / North East UK	He was doing a dangerous maneuver there, which was totally uncalled for so he was just showing off and was not able to pull up in time. Idiot. I pity the helo. _________________________ - Ice

531 Ghost USMC Veteran Registered: 09/17/02 Posts: 10450 Loc: Elizabeth City NC	Originally Posted By: SkateZilla gotta love that emergency shutdown, or he would have been a fireball on the 2nd impact./ It's actually designed to do just that. Upon impact, the engine doesn't suck fuel from the airframe due to it no longer spinning. In this case there was no need for the pilot to initiate an emergency shut down. The engines were already off at impact. Edit: I've done a few Apache crash investigations in my 20 + years of T700 Engine Series So far, they've all walked away. Pretty survivable aircraft. If I recall, the seats stroke at a +9 G impact, providing the AC a "cushion" upon impact.

Top Gun Veteran Registered: 01/07/01 Posts: 16191 Loc: Roch-Vegas NH	With more and more of these live leak videos showing pilots "hot dogging" it w/moves like this or all the jet low passes buzzing people, I wonder if the videos ever get seen by commanders and the pilots are grounded... If you're going to do something stupid, make sure no one is recording it... _________________________ XboxLive Tag: DOBrienTG1969 Dave O'Brien, Top Gun Photography Nikon D200 Nikon D7100 Nikkor 70-200VR AF-s F/2.8 Sigma 50-500 & 17-50 F2.8
