- A pilot has a very lucky escape as his aircraft clips scaffolding and tears itself apart in Auckland, New Zealand. This is an update to the raw footage we posted last night. Report by Sam Datta-Paulin. Like us on Facebook at / itn and follow us on Twitter at / itn

People he did not hit the structure. There is a raw footage of this very same video. If you look at it one of the ground crew in a rush to grab and disconnect the cable from under the helicopter pulled down on the cable to soon and made the cable hit the rotor. I urge all of you look at it the pilot did not scew up the ground crewman did.
it wasn't the scaffold he clipped - it was a cable/rope. look at the link to the right [by englishworldnews]
That seatbelt saved his life!
It sure did. He would have come out of the chopper if it was not for the seatbelt.
The pilot was not at fault. One of the workers jumped up and grabbed the cable that was connected to the chopper(to help with erecting the structure) and pulled it into the rotor. There is another video from a different angle where this can clearly be seen
Did anyone notice the man in the black shirt pulled down on the cable which made the cable come towards the helicopter blade. The man in the black shirt caused the accident and I haven’t seen any comments about what he did.
It hit the wire cable on the main rotor you cant it see from video ....
Flying into a tight space to put up a decoration makes total sense to me.
@SonsofThrall No, there's definitely a cable that hits the main rotor and causes the accident.
Look at 0:19 exactly, it only exposes itself to the camera for a brief second, maybe less, swings into the main rotor and then the chopper goes down.
I'd bet my savings that it was that that caused the accident. In fact, i think this cable was attached to the underside of the chopper, and the other side to something above it, hence it hitting the main rotor.
You are correct. The cable was attached to the Helio underneath and then ran up to the scaffolding creating a catenary curve.
A ground worker jumped up and grabbed the cable which pulled the cable taut and into the blades. Other videos of the event clearly capture what happened.
when i saw this on the news i said straight away, 'this will get plenty of views on youtube'
Typical report of not getting it right. A guy on the ground crew flicked a cable which inadvertently caught in the rotor. That’s what brought the helicopter down. Well, that and gravity.
He doesn't hit anything you blind people, you can see a metal cable swing right into the main rotor hub, then it starts to shake.
I'm a bit late here, but the scaffolding would have exploded from the force of the rotor blades if it had hit it, a worker tugged on a cable, causing it and the blades to snap like cheap plastic
Came here to say this. This is a terribly misinformed article. He didn’t hit the tower at all, missed it completely. You’re right, a worker tugged on a cable and it got caught in the rotor assembly causing the crash. You can see it from another angle.

It was not the pilot's fault the chopper did not clip the steel structure. An idiot on the ground jumped up and grabbed the cable that he was trying to lower. The cable got caught in the propeller.
This is really, really bad reporting. A worker tugged on a (dangerously close to begin with) cable, bringing it into the rotors.
Should also mention: Even if the worker didn't pull on the cable, it would have hit in another couple of seconds anyway... there was hardly any slack left.
I was there on the waterfront in Auckland NZ when it happened; they were building an armature for a giant Christmas tree.
Wow! Tanks goodness he was so lucky along with those on the ground not to get hurt badly. I hope the festive tree still gets put up in respect of these people.
Man I love youtube, Where everybody is a helicopter pilot.
Yepp and when he saw what mistake he did he tried to catch the cable from under the helicopter but that was a bad ideea cause that is when the cable tenses up and touched the propeller.
If you look up "Dramatic new footage of helicopter crash" which is footage from a different angle, you can clearly see the guy in front of the white building on the ground flicks the cable which hits the main rotor. The guy is standing just above the "op" in the word 'helicopter' that is on the screen.
It would likely have hit the cable anyway, this guy was just being used as a scapegoat.
I agree
@afare17 : I hope the pilot apologized for disturbing you.
"That's coming out of your pay, son..."
Should have had 2 Marshallers directing him working that close to Obstacles
It hit the Guide Wire not the Structure...
What's that screeching sound at 0:21?
the engine
It was the sound of the guy being on his vinegar stroke
It's like battlefield 3 all over again.
Glad he's okay, but what a dumb move by all involved. How did that dangling cable go unnoticed?
Mr. gribble….Offcourse this goes wrong…. Its far too early in the year for putting up Christmas trees sir…. 🤓
@bloodmarine77 its £250 mate
Here the HD version of it. And the rotors hit a cable not the scaffolding, some idiot pulled into the blades. /watch?v=v5aMT9MBfZI
@Zk0p3 - you must be an accountant!
At another angle the cable was still connected to the copter. The rotor wash pushed the line into the rotor as the copter was landing. Dont know why the cable was not disconnected from the copter. The pilot nearly got ejected. He dangled a bit until impact. His harness kept him in.
His body was actually out of the helicopter for a split second, what the fuuuuuck, lucky fucker!
OKey lemme get ths straight.You thank god that someone didnt get hurt after an accident.Why didnt god just stop the accient in the first place???
No it did not hit scaffolding.
Someone is playing with inverted controls :P
Smooth...
TCLeeBrown, You are wrong. The ground crew member pulled the cable tight and it hit the rotor blades. It was not the pilot's fault at all. He was doing what he was supposed to do, the ground crew screwed up and should have known better.
he didn't hit shit, the guy on the ground flung the cable into the rotors..
this will be very very EXPENSIVE
right, but very very ...very expensive for the insurance
I love the way the man On foot runs towards the big dangerous rotor blades!?
Running away, it was just the camera perspective.
it did happen a lot when i playing gta4
Scary! 🇳🇿
i hope he picked up his £200 when he handed the video into you've been framed!
0:16 He lost his hat :o
carefully carefully BOM

perfect
Who's going to pay for the helicopter?
doesn't look like he clipped anything, looks like the cable snapped. shouldn't have caused that but weirder things have happened.
They are insured , Shit happens ,it's a risky business.
I can’t stop laughing, did he get some on you bro?
School Boy Error!!!
"An investigation has been launched"
Surely not much to investigate. The video speaks for itself. Can clearly see a rather thick cable/wire dangle from near the chopper, and swing into the main propeller.
Should've been the responsibility of the people on the ground to ensure it was clear enough for him to get that low.
I guess they should never investigate crashes, just because they're obvious. 'Obvious' conclusions have been wrong before anyway, not to mention finding contributing factors etc, to prevent it happening again.
@@DoubleMonoLR Whats obvious is you cant read.
I never once said it was obvious or that an investigation wasn't necessary.
Discharged??? he lost his license? or what? btw who pays for that accident i mean choppers don't come cheap
It was not the pilots fault. One of the guys on the ground failed to do is job correctly and flung one of the wires that they were using to put the Christmas Tree up with strait into the blades/rotors of the helicopter. The pilot was doing everything he was meant to the way he was meant to.
As for who pays for it the insurance company would.
The thing that matters the most though is that everyone was ok.
@@photographylover1238 I don't think it was quite that simple.
Having seen the footage on tv here in NZ at the time, obviously the rigger did pull the wire into the rotor, but it seemed all but inevitable it would hit the wire anyway. Even the cameraman thought it was going to happen.
It seems the rigger was trying to release the hook from the bottom of the helicopter, presumably panicking as he could see an accident was imminent.
The CAA report was incredibly brief & lacking detail, & apparently didn't interview the rigger at all,or even reply to his email outlining events shortly after it happened.
As was supposedly the agreed plan(according to the rigger at least, and certainly explains why he was wearing a harness) - it would seem far safer to have the rigger unhook the cable from the top of the star first, rather than lower the helicopter with the cable still attached to both the star & chopper - with the cable inevitably dangling close to the helicopter.
'Cameraman Murray Job, who filmed the accident, said the rigger was not at fault.
"I'm very much on Scott's side. There was a briefing and Scott has told me the briefing was not followed.
"Scott was meant to climb up the tower to unhook the cable. That was the plan and that was why he had the harness on.
"Scott stuck to the plan and attempted to unhook the cable, what else could he do?"
Job said everyone could see what would happen if the cable was left attached.
"Even if he didn't reach up to grab the cable, it was going to hit the rotor anyway.
"I could see what was going on and that's why I started to walk away.
"I was thinking, 'what the hell is this? But these guys must know what they are doing'. Next thing I hear the 'crack' of the rotor striking the cable and I swung around to film what was happening."
He said his other camera on the other side recorded the whole thing. Job said an observer some distance away should have directed the helicopter to remain aloft as the rigger climbed the tower to unhook the cable.
"You've got a tower that's seven storeys high with one end of a cable attached to the top and the other end attached to the chopper. Something bad was going to happen unless the cable was unhooked and that would have been clear to everyone who was there.
"Scott tried to fix it. When the cable struck he ducked for his life, rolled into a run and sprinted straight into the chopper to shut the machine down. He's a bloody hero in my eyes.""

Yes I concur that the helicopter crash was NOT caused by clipping scaffolding. It was the numpty who grabbed the wire and pulled the steel cable into the main rotor. The same guy that helped carry the pilot away! He’s lucky that the cable was cut by the rotor or he would have lost his hand. You should really change the title of this video as it is misleading
pilot over-estimated his abilities
Probably drunk...
looks like whiteboy7strt
Great, blame the pilot when it was a dumbass ground worker.
The worker jumped up and grabbed the cable which pulled it into the blades.
lol
"an investigation has been launched" wtf!!!! this is wot u will find.... guy flying chopper helping put up the scaffolding, sudden gust of wind or knock of the controls and he clips the scaffolding, chopper comes crashing down, guy goes to hospital end of story.... >_>
@bloodmarine77
*£250 :P
:)
I don't think everyone made it out alive. Look again, under the heli....you see the yellow vest then a splattered human being. Does anyone else see this? Am I mistaken?
Eveybody survived. Watch this footage as a proof:
watch?v=v5aMT9MBfZI
thanks. that clears it up
That Pilot was showing off, He had no reason to bring the chopper down there. He could have landed it in the park. I do not believe he hit the main Lattice structure, I think he may well have come in contact with a Loose Cable that may have been grabbed or flicked by someone. Either way the pilot is a fool, Choppers do not belong in confined spaces Particularly in public areas. There was so many other choices, Lets just all agree that that would have not been the only place to land. I close my case now down with the hammer, Court is Adjourned now im off to find more stupidity.
