Anybody notice the helicopter magically change orientation right before the crash? please tell me im not crazy talking specifically about 4:03 the blades switch sides what in the hell is going on here??????
To me it seems like (if it really was an actual crash and not a staged one) main throttle got somewhat stuck ( so the pilot cant reduce throttle/lift) meaning he had no other option other then to crashland. If that was the case he should've taken his time and done a plane like landing on asphalt but he might've panicked.
@Isaac Nesbitt Money. Im not an expert but chanced are it was going to be trashed by whoever bought it anyways so they got it for a discount and trashed it in style.
@Isaac Nesbitt It just seems so unlikely that it would just crash. Still they make millions from those shows and that might've gotten them to news aswell which would've been some great advertising, also if the chopper was already going to be trashed they might've gotten it basically for free. What kind of risk to the pilot? You think they would leave the pilot in there for the crashing scene? You think it was even a single shot?
@@harlisviikmae6240 pilots don't use a throttle to achieve lift in a helicopter, it's called the collective. and if it was stuck pilots use "auto rotations" to achieve favorable crash landings.

Lyle Faraday Eh, no. Retreating blade stall occurs at the high end of a helicopter's (speed) performance envelope, which he wasn't even approaching. You can actually read the NTSB report, and the pilot said that the controls froze up. I don't know if that's true, either, but oh well. He was dealing with an underslung rotor system that may not have had the control authority and out-maneuvered his own capabilities. Not a bad guess on your part, though!
It was insufficient altitude for the attempted maneuver. Ground effect bled some power and made the aircraft less responsive as he tried to pull out and there was not enough altitude margin to regain control.
How Hammond would've reacted: What should we do? What should we do? *goes help* James: *happily continues driving**passes by**only notices some time later* Oh cock! *goes help**only reaches the scene after everything is already done* Clarkson: Oh my... should i help? Nah, that'll buff out. *drives away*
Because it was so close to the ground, had it been a fall from higher, I doubt they’d survive. Also do we know for a fact they survived? They never showed the interior shot when the crash happened and we never see the pilot talk after the crash….
+ComputersAreRealCool Kind of, they had control but -stalls- somehow lose it. The pilot wants to make a 180 turn like they did on 3:14 but probably was too aggresive. -What i learn from this is, helis are kind of similar to cars, too fast on the sharp turn you'll lost control-. -Edit: however i might be wrong, i'm not observant enough to catch what's wrong with the chopper.- I am wrong.
+chopperbubba I know nothing of helicopters, so my guess was that the pilot blacked out momentarily, or perhaps experienced a moment of tunnel vision, in the final turn. It looked like a fairly high-G maneuver, even though airspeed was low.
+frankdn109 retreating blade stall. Tried to go to fast and the retreating blade was exceeded in speed by relative wind causing the aircraft to pitch up and roll over.
I am glad to hear that that the pilots and ground crew are okay. It seemed odd to me from the start that they were flying so low--then when they took that last turn, it looked to me like the Cobra was on the verge of stalling out.

To low to the ground probably, also the chopper wasn't level when it started to fall. So may have been more dangerous to eject. Military choppers are pretty strong, as you can see the cabin was still fully intact.

i hope there's such thing as helicopter insurance.
There are insurance for aircraft.

Yeah, it's called taxpayer rape.
Well taxes payers! Not big deal
There is, it's called Tax 😂

Perfect landing.
There's a saying in the industry:
Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

That will buff out.
It's all fun n games till somebody gets hurt! My dad..
What caused it? Did they just lose control for no reason?
+ComputersAreRealCool Kind of, they had control but -stalls- somehow lose it. The pilot wants to make a 180 turn like they did on 3:14 but probably was too aggresive. -What i learn from this is, helis are kind of similar to cars, too fast on the sharp turn you'll lost control-.
-Edit: however i might be wrong, i'm not observant enough to catch what's wrong with the chopper.- I am wrong.

thank you for clearing things up! Now i feel bad to myself for not searching the causes earlier.
+chopperbubba I know nothing of helicopters, so my guess was that the pilot blacked out momentarily, or perhaps experienced a moment of tunnel vision, in the final turn. It looked like a fairly high-G maneuver, even though airspeed was low.
+frankdn109 retreating blade stall. Tried to go to fast and the retreating blade was exceeded in speed by relative wind causing the aircraft to pitch up and roll over.
Sharp turn low altitute and crash
Man got so pissed he was out.
still i still feel bad for the guy that crashed
Not even Clarkson was allowed that amount of damage! Respect!
I am glad to hear that that the pilots and ground crew are okay. It seemed odd to me from the start that they were flying so low--then when they took that last turn, it looked to me like the Cobra was on the verge of stalling out.
Pilot was so mad he lost the race he just decided to end it all
** Back to the Studio **
Clarkson *Pondering*: Hammond... That pilot wouldn't happen to be your brother would he?
thank god there was no seriouse injuries
Didnt know Jamie hyneman started flying helicopters. From mythbusters to garbage pilot.
damn... that helicopter is gone.. that really sucks.. im so glad the pilots are ok and no one else was severely injured
Ahhh!... but does a Corvette come with a 20mm chain cannon?!
Hope my mini cooper had one on the roof top :(
No, but it does come with a sat nav that always shows you where all the closest trailer parks, Wal-Marts & gas stations that sell pornographic material are located. Oh! And the McDonalds where you can park the Corvette, lean on the fender in your faded Corvette logo t-shirt tucked in your jean shorts while wearing Crocs so you can tell everyone how cool you THINK you really are....🤦♂️

***** yupp
have you ever played battlefield 2 not company.. just Battlefield 2 ?

@@lightzpy8049 I still like Battlefield Vietnam Redux on PC, out of all of them.
Only bad thing was the maps were too small for the jets, but it was ok for the choppers.
I especially loved the AH & UH-1s.
It was so fun, flying around with friends, blowing shit up, while listening to rockin' music!😍
I've never seen the point in these experiments anyway, it's like comparing Michael Jordan and Mike tison
@@IkLms11 it's a great comparison because as athletes they never competed with each other because it's a different sport just like land and air, there are many cars and motorcycles they could've used or at least find a match for the helicopter in the air
Lesson here is don’t try to repeat Top Gear BBC, way to go Korea
Didn't know North Korea had devolved a weapon that shoots invisible Rays capable of bringing down helicopters
lol good 8ne
That's not funny he could of died!

Damnit..that’s my favorite helicopter right there. AH1 For Life!
If that was Jeremy Clarkson, he would have stopped, stared for a brief moment and then said something funny. Then he would continue driving while he debated on the stupidity of the pilot.
Glad the pilot is okay, definitely a rough landing.
But crash aside, that Corvette is seriously, seriously impressive...
North Korea style landing
Very True :\
Don’t be daft! If it was NK, they’d struggle to get it off the ground! 😂
Russian Jarhead dude this is South Korea, North Korea don't even know TV
WRONG. GTA 5 style landing 😂😂
@@ahmedakajoe lol, most of my friends don't even bother landing their choppers in GTAO, they just bail out!😅
Too bad if you're riding with them & they decide to "land" when you're not paying attention.
Once we were up high enough for my character to jump into the vacant pilot's seat, & continue flying!😆
4:01 to be honest, what was he expecting doing a halfroll at this height?
@Upcycle Shoes it's an "ag turn" well a terrible one, like the rest of his ag turns.
That whole “horizontal component of lift “
Thing
If it was Jeremy racing he would have kept going lmao
That Cobra See's a Python on the ground and he knew he's already tired and won't be able to run from it, so sadly he present itself for Python meal.😤
And i thought as a child that ejectable seats for helicopter pilots would be a great idea...
They do exist Funnily enough.
@M J On the Russian KA-50 the blades are ejected first, then the seat.
To low to the ground probably, also the chopper wasn't level when it started to fall. So may have been more dangerous to eject. Military choppers are pretty strong, as you can see the cabin was still fully intact.
@@MrEsphoenix oohh OK I didn't know that thx 👍
@@bababoey_ I mean, less dangerous than a falling blender full of explosives, but sure, ejecting isn't a perfect solution lol
4:25 GOOD ON YOU DUDE! Glad you got out, never know when you might be the one to save someone's life.
