Quote: Are the good old CH-46 Sea Knight crash. Seen that many times before. Amazingly they all survived to tell the tale which is amazing considering what happened. I believe the official lie on the crash was that when the piloy tried to pull up something or other went wrong with the rear rotor and more power was being produced on the front causing it to not pull up like it should. Something along those lines anyway.
(Edit - I'm not saying what you said is bollocks Stu LOL)
Thats a load of bollocks... but i tell you what, that fence was some serious quality to pull such a powerful helicopter like that down!!!
The Chinook's are built to pick up very heavy loads.
