  • Footage of the Presidential helicopter convoy arriving in New York City at the Financial district Heliport.
    First 2 Chinook (or Sea Knight) helicopters arrive with security and personnel, followed by 2 Marine One's (the real one and a decoy) landing. The President then heads into the Presidential Limo (Cadillac One) and the motorcade heads up the FDR Drive.
    Fascinating sight!
    (Since I had to use high zoom there is some shaking thruout the clip, sorry)

      @@SerhanOgan No I saw in a few videos where Secret Service was interviewed and since the last assassination they have upped their game. The President is rarely in open air in the public for an extended period of time without a large, secure perimeter around the whole area. They probably had snipers watching everything. It was probably a rooftop they'd covered. But if they hadn't I'm sure a really good sniper could've taken him or the helicopter out with an RPG.

Or even, you got your way to an easy advantage point that would allow a Sniper to shoot the President or even an RPG to shoot down them Choppers. Well I'd say, C.A.T (Counter Assault Team) or S.A.T (Sniper Assault Team) Were watching you while you were recording it. If you even take out something Dangerous they will freaking shoot you out.

    Judging from where the choppers appear in the distance (i.e. from southeast), I believe they come from JFK Airport.

    Those aren't Chinooks. Those are VH-46 Sea Knights. The USMC doesn't fly the CH-47 Chinook. The easiest outward recognition is the -46 has tricycle landing gear and its engines are inside the aft pylon. The Army's CH/MH-47 Chinook has quadcycle landing gear, and its engines outside the aft pylon.
    I hope these guys were part of the security force, otherwise the Secret Service allowed a couple of guys to get within easy rifle range of the whole operation. A rocket/missile really couldn't miss at the range these guys were at.

    Fun fact: Marine One is just a call sign so Secret Service could know where the President is at all times. The same goes for Air Force One, Navy One, Army One, Coast Guard One, and The Beast. The Vice President gets the same call signs, but instead of One, the VP gets a number Two since the VP is second in command. "You learn something new every day".
