That's one hell of a video. Any one know how the helo crew fared??
I believe the whirly-bird guys call that a dynamic rollover. :eek:

I don't know why, but the pilot brought them in too "hot", that is at such a high speed and poor angle of decent. We wouldn't make that type of approach on a land-based pad, let alone a pitching deck of a ship.
The flight crew almost salvages the poor initial landing, but if you look closely, the rear port side gear hangs up on the deck railing causing the rollover when they pull power to lift back up. The railing breaks free under the stress, but it's too late.
Not sure how the crew fared on this one either.
