So the lesson of these posts is, water doesn't provide as much resistance as earth?  :facepalm:

That Jet Ranger crash was one of two things.
Most likely it was an engine failure with a loss of Rotor RPM

However seeing how fast the thing descended would also suggest a thing called "Settling with power" This phenomenon occurs with an aircraft at zero to near zero airspeed, in an out of ground effect hover, and with 20 to 100% engine power applied. Under these conditions sometimes the rotor can begin ingesting it's own rotor wash which whips around in big swirling vortexes. Where as air would normally enter the rotor system at nearly no downward speed, when the rotor starts to ingest it's own rotorwash, those down wash velocities from the swirling air can reach 100 MPH. So the aerodynamic angle of attack is obliterated and the helicopter enters into a column of rapidly air that spits the thing out at the bottom at a high rate of descent, destroying the aircraft.

I've seen a crash or two, and been in a few.
Definitely difficult to stay alive when all that stuff has sudden stopage

Me thinks there is theory and then there is the seat of the pants little tingly stuff on the back of the neck that keeps you alive.  God bless our soldiers. Thank you for breaking stuff and killing bad guys.

I flew these with the German Army over two summers many moons ago.

Called Allouette 2's, they can really do crazy stunts like this:

Some pretty harsh comments on that video (or maybe deserving Don? I'm not one to say for sure) ....seems the pilot passed away too (not from that)....too bad.
