Breaking news: SAF apache helicopter crash in woodland

[Equalisation]

Got collateral damage already.. just now i was on Woodlands Ave 12, got one Super 4 biker on the opposite side kena distracted and bang one taxi on the backside. Got ambulance and all that.

At first I thought it was a movie shoot, until I saw the Riot police.

Knn .... I was at drain catching fish ..... when the atta-chi helicopter ... twirl and twirl until I scared until drop into drain ..... japanese slippers gone and citizen watch also gone ......

Good grief! Apaches are manufactured by Boeing. Heard of it?

Of course! Not only have i heard of it, I have seen it in my office!!

The ah nehs never like to do real work. they always talk in hindi and BEO at chinese girls. No wonder the helicopter they make crash! :oIo:

 

[laidback]

aiyoh, no armed NSFs despatched there to jagah our multi million dollar weaponry and proprietary avionics ah? very jialat leh airforce. on getting the mayday call airforce should have scrambled ground recovery units + armed protection detail.

I thought people used to say that in the event of an helicopter crash, the pilot would never survive.

How did our pilots manage to escape unscathed ?

This looks and sounds more like a controlled crash landing than an uncontrollable plunging crash. In 1991, a when Super Puma crashed at SAFTI, both pilot and co-pilot died, but a backseat crewman was saved.

It was upside down, cockpit in water, both crew would have survive if not for the shallow water

Red indian? which part of the country are they from?

My IT department ah neh are all fair north indians. their face become very red when I catch them lying to me about work.

fuck up people make fuck up helicopter!

Natives of north america, tribes like cherokee, cheyenne, sioux,
etc, they are known as indians (red).

People of india, north and south, sri lanka (formerly ceylon) they are also referred to as indians.

Agree, if plunging crash it have burst into flames. The pilots would not have survived let alone no serious injuries.

Is a twin engine chopter. Both engine fail?
What happen?

 

[Unrepented]

That tum forgot to lower the landing gears of AWACS; pilot sleeping, co pilot sleeping, assistant engineer sleeping, controller at control tower sleeping....all covered up also what

 

[Kid278]

To the contrary, I think the pilots have done a fantastic job in averting any civilian collateral damage.

In view of that, let's move on.

I agree on the no civilian casualty and collateral damage part but the public still need to know what the apache is doing in the heartland and why it crash land. It's peace time.

They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
Took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

They took the whole Indian nation
Locked us on this reservation
Though I wear a shirt and tie
I'm still part redman deep inside

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

But maybe someday when they learn
Cherokee nation will return, will return,
will return, will return, will return

What the picture shows, it did not actually crash but crash landed.

Yo, very nice and meaningful song, heard that before. Very sad, the americans really wiped them out.

Overpaid for second hand 35 years old
made-in-USA old toys again!

Better investigate if any Iraqi bullet holes patched in the structure man.

In the 1970s it was the twenty five years old Skyhawks which crashed
like nobody's business, now it is the Apache's turn to crash.

Only difference this time no pilot died.

Lucky no bystanders got hurt, landed near a school.
