Oops
I am fairly certain this is not the preferred manner in which to land a helicopter. This is what happens when the tail rotor of a helo stops working - in this case, because it flew off. Turns out that second rotor is handy after all. Amazingly, no one was hurt in this crash, nor were any live animals harmed in the making of this entry. The Polish pilot - this is from Ghazni - did an extraordinary job in making the impact relatively innocuous. So that's good news, and quite heartening, seeing as how I'm going to be on at least three separate helicopters in Kandahar today.
