Quote: "Not long ago our helicopter took off from under very dense fire. In a safe place, it was decided to land the bird, due to some control functionality failures. The landing was very hard, but there were no casualties, the entire crew is fine!"

How toxic people treat people pleasers

That one isn't going back up anytime soon. Will make a great wintering frame for several animals.

It looks so sad.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

That will need a lot of duct tape and paint to fly again.

Chopper looks how I feel

Hey man, maybe it was cold, you don’t know. Lots of people struggle with getting it up.

Maneuvering kill?

Some decision. Either you are going down controllably or uncontrollably. And by the looks of it, it seems to have been a rather uncontrolled descent.

"We decided to land, as continuing to fly was not one of the available multiple choice options."

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That is a very loose definition of "landing"

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Any landing you can walk away from...

Everyone onboard suddenly an inch or two shorter
