I’ve never been in a helicopter, but for some reason they’ve always struck me as rather dangerous. This helicopter crash video doesn’t make me want to get into one any time soon.

The helicopter pilot is attempting to land on an aircraft carrier. But he makes a small miscalculation, and before he has a chance to back up and try again, the chopper falls into the ocean on its side. It’s amazing how quickly it happens.

I wonder if the people in the chopper were wearing life vests? If they weren’t, I’ll bet they were wishing they had been wearing them.
