Had an army helicopter come over the house in trouble today
Landed in the field next to the house
Another one landed and took the troops and guns off LOL
While another one was circling above
Engine failure the pilot said

Why does the second video look like the angle of a peeping tom?

If this had have been in theatre for real... Then it would have either been recovered or destroyed... Awesome footage... And something you don't see everyday.

Merlins had issues when first in production with engine and gearbox failure.

Good on the pilot for getting on the ground safely.
