  30. I noticed that the pilot was having a problem with the speed of the hover it usually hovers for about few minutes before it slowly hovers downwards this hover went directly from hover to a quick descendent the landing was hard which led to further destabilization of the aircraft pilot stayed with the aircraft to try to stabilize it but he had no choice it was not pilot error, but Aircraft malfunction

  31. INSANE!!
    I pray the pilot is okay!!

  32. So the only footage is from a civilian?
