Selected insensitive commentary:

1. what is he doing flying?

2. What i'd like to know is, what he's doing flying a helicopter in what appears to be a residential area.. nevermind him, there was clearly spectators and all kinds of other vehicles and things going on in the background he could've hit. The fact he landed(crashed)where he did is a minor miracle as he clearly was NOT in control of that helicopter. It only sums up to stupidity.

3. W O W ! It doesnt appear like there was anyone on board who could actually pilot the thing. Maybe its a case of "I have a lot of money, I think i'll go and take my new toy for a spin around the block ??? " Insane. I admire the camera operator as he just stood there taping the heli flying right past him (... did u notice the tail rotor ??? It wasnt that far away from him)
Again ... really insane.

4. Thinning the herd!!!

5. THAT IS CRAZY!! someone could have died.. and **** is that heli doing on the streets? who put it there? and what were they trying 2 do?

6. that really is insane. the camera man either has guts of steel or he is just clueless. You wouldnt catch me within 300 ft of a revolving tail rotor.

7. i think it's just clueless and he thinks the owner's not piloting or thinks he knows what he's doing.

8. That pilot's an f.,;/ing lunatic

9. i thought it was pretty funny (except for all that could have gone wrong like people getting kill, ect.) what i whant to know is why he went down the street? if one of those blades hit a tree that thing is going to tear apart. Not like it didn't anyways.

10. If you look at this video very closley, you can see a lot of very interesting things. First, he trims the trees... and you can see the branches falling down to the ground. Then you see the people standing behind that car lookin like ... wth is he thinking ... then you see them running. But the interesting part is when he hits that lamp pole, probly gets a boom strike and rolls over. Notice one of the blades flying right in the direction of the people who just fled the scene. I mean .. this is a truly insane video. I'd like to know what country it happened in and read any press articles about it. Anyone know a bit more ?

11. Yep As I said, the way he crashed, it's nothing short of a minor miracle that nobody was hurt (though it's possible someone WAS hurt, hard to tell from the video). When a helicopter crashes and the blades strike the ground, **** goes flying everywhere man, it ain't pretty.

12. Wow... That has to be one of the most idiotic and irresponsible moves I've seen. Beginning of the video is no big deal... obviousely a new pilot in what appears to be a safe area. Then the guy is cruising down a two lane residential street trimming everyones trees along the way as people run for cover. Unbelievable

Background:

The heli belongs to a Lithuanian company, the pilot did not have a license for it, he didn't have a commercial license, the heli was not authorized for commercial flights, only experimental and were not allowed used in populated areas.

Here's another one... He decided he couldnt wait for his instructor to arrive.
