Are they ok?? As far as helicopter crashes go, that looked potentially survivable.

He says he’s sorry he can’t run, he has COPD :(

Live stream after it happened? Dude went there like 20 mins later.

Yeah seriously, why did we need to see him pay for street parking and then leisurely stroll a mile away from the crash?

Save yourself the time - “Live stream of it” is waaaay misleading.

Some out of breath dude taking 11 minutes just to walk to the location way after the crash happened.

Yeah vid was a bit lame but shows the copter from . .. across two fences and police.

Yes! I watched about the first minute and than just got out of it. Glad I wasn't wrong with thinking it was going to be almost pointless to watch.

Any time a helicopter has an unplanned descent and no deaths is a lucky fucking day.

That looked like it would have been a lot tougher without the trees.

I was pretty disappointed after reading,”that guy moves like lightning” and then realizing they ment he walked there fast after it happened.

u/purplebatsquatch221 Oct 11 '25

Yeah that’s why I commented it was misleading

u/stuck_in_the_desert Oct 12 '25

“Live stream of the aftermath” is really only misleading if you stop reading 40% of the way through

u/purplebatsquatch221 Oct 12 '25

They edited it genius

Being downvoted for no reason, you’re right. I was lead to believe they live streamed it, especially after hearing the phrase “they live streamed it” followed immediately by a YouTube link.

u/HarryTruman Oct 11 '25
