Video shows helicopter crash that killed bride on her wedding day (Pretty disturbing) - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE]Newly released video shows the horrifying moment a helicopter crash killed a Brazilian bride on her wedding day last year. The video, released by a Brazilian news channel, shows Rosemere do Nascimento Silva laughing and smiling as the helicopter takes off. It ends with the heartbreaking disaster that killed her, her brother, the pilot and a pregnant photographer. Her fiancé was left waiting at the altar. Police in Sao Paulo have been looking into reasons for the crash and the almost 9-minute video may reveal mistakes made by pilot Peterson Pinheiro moments before the crash, according to Aeronautics Reserve Col. Luis Lupoli, channel G1 Oficial reported.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://nypost.com/2017/07/06/horrifying-video-shows-helicopter-crash-that-killed-bride-on-her-wedding-day/"]http://nypost.com/2017/07/06/horrifying-video-shows-helicopter-crash-that-killed-bride-on-her-wedding-day/[/URL] Heres the video, might be upsetting to some. [video=youtube;pb2tJfiIrCo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb2tJfiIrCo[/video] Crash happens around 6:20

That out of focus shot with the blinking red light at the end is haunting stuff. Then the credits rolled and I got really confused. What a tragedy, can't imagine what that was like for the fiance and families left at the ceremony.

[QUOTE=InfectedPotato;52444186] Heres the video, but be warned, its pretty graphic. [/QUOTE] Did we watch the same video? You literally see nothing except them sitting there before the camera falls out of the helicopter.

[QUOTE=InfectedPotato;52444271]Graphic in the sense that it might be disturbing to some people, my bad[/QUOTE] Exactly... Some people can imagine what happened. They don't need details.

7:38 - He says "Morreu, Morreu". Portuguese for "Died".

[quote]“All brides have a dream and hers was to arrive by helicopter to their wedding without anyone knowing,” Carlos Eduardo Battista, one of the wedding planners, had told Brazilian outlet Globo at the time. [B]The groom was unaware of his bride’s planned arrival by air[/B] and went into complete shock, according to the pastor. Only six of the 300 guests knew about the surprise.[/quote] Fuck man, that is so sad.

Pilot should have turned back the moment it started to get bad, was probably never trained for IMC and got disorientated looking for the horizon.

I wouldn't want to fly in that kind of fog, it can be done, but it's hard as hell.

Imagine waiting hours wondering where your fiancee is, only to be told she's been killed in a freak accident on what's meant to be the best day of your life. Fucking sucks man.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;52444557]I wonder what altitude they were at because that was literally impossible to survive. You wouldn't have a chance in any scenario.[/QUOTE] One of the big problems with flying in zero visibility is that if you start relying on things like GPS you are instantly vulnerable to any and all obstacles. They might of hit something. They might of simply flown into a hill without realizing it.

Now it becomes a tool to learn from so that it can never happen again.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;52444616]Watch the rotor; My uneducated guess is that they stalled.[/QUOTE] Helicopters don't stall per se. The rotor is going at a constant rpm. It looks like they hit something.

It struck some trees.[/URL] [QUOTE]— É a terceira vez que o piloto fazia o trajeto até aqui, conhecia bem a área. Fiquei muito preocupado, porque o tempo estava ruim, mas soube que em Osasco, de onde o helicóptero veio, o tempo estava aberto — contou. [/QUOTE] It wasnt the firm time the pilot did this. He had already done it two times. [QUOTE]"Ele foi e voltou duas vezes. A hélice parece que se desfez e depois ouvimos um barulho do helicóptero caindo no…[/QUOTE] It's from a witness who saw the helicopter fall. A guard if I understood well. Another maid said the same. That the helicopter started spinning.

[QUOTE=SKEEA;52444808]Helicopters don't stall per se. The rotor is going at a constant rpm. It looks like they hit something.[/QUOTE] Agreed. Judging by the thick fog my educated guess is that the pilot lost both his sense of location and elevation, and that either the altimeter was either showing a false reading or the pilot wasn't using it.

[QUOTE=UncleJimmema;52444951]Agreed. Judging by the thick fog my educated guess is that the pilot lost both his sense of location and elevation, and that either the altimeter was either showing a false reading or the pilot wasn't using it.[/QUOTE] In my experience, basic altimeters (at least, the one in the two planes I've piloted) show height above sea level, not ground level, so he may have simply misjudged. My airport's elevation was 450 ft above sea level. If I were flying in zero visibility and didn't know that, relying solely on my altimeter could be a fatal mistake.

The problem is they shouldn't have been flying with damn near 0 visibility. Looks to me like a classic case of spatial disorientation. Look at the artificial horizon before the crash, They were at a 45 degree left bank, he corrected hard when they saw the ground and was at 45 degrees banked to the right, Hit the ground and bounced, losing their tail rotor hence the pilot slinging to the left as the helicopter started spinning since without a tail rotor helicopters spin clockwise (Most do anyway), and then that was all she wrote

[QUOTE=InfectedPotato;52444271]Graphic in the sense that it might be disturbing to some people, my bad[/QUOTE] This is nowhere near as bad, but a good example of a disturbing video that shows nothing graphic at all is that dashcam video where a brick fell off a flatbed and hit the car.

Using 0.25 speed and playing each frame after 7:08, I think you can see the pilot falling out after the impact. No long sleeves, and the yellow ribbons.

I don't see any point in releasing this footage to the public.

[QUOTE=Bertie;52446193]I don't see any point in releasing this footage to the public.[/QUOTE] It is a lesson for other pilots. Spatial D is a very real threat, and it is a sobering reminder to not fly beyond your means.

[QUOTE=Bertie;52446193]I don't see any point in releasing this footage to the public.[/QUOTE] There's a saying in the aviation industry: Regulation is written in blood. Knowing exactly what lead up to a crash or what caused a crash prevents future ones

As unfortunate as this accident was, it will go forth to be another lesson for future pilots. For every tens or hundreds of thousands of successful helicopter flights, you might have a few accidents. Hopefully this removes some of those accidents from the future.

That was fucking haunting. The guy in the back looked incredibly nervous the entire flight, while the bride looked pretty calm until the end. Fuck though. Pilots absolutely need to know their real altitude. It looked like the fog messed with his perspective and he thought he tilted, so he corrected way too hard and hit the ground. Must have been reading his altimeter wrong (sea level/ground level?) shame, but a learning experience for future pilots

I've flown through clouds before, and even after just 15 seconds of flight I wasn't level anymore.
