While there's plenty of fuckery surrounding the Helene response, a few rolls of paper towels getting blown over by the rotor wash is not "deliberately destroying supplies.".
It blew over their tents, paperwork, etc. The pilot did that with a very steady hand.
Yeah, that tends to happen when attempt to land next to an unlashed lightweight supply area.
IMO This was either bait hoping someone would shoot at the chopper or it was a civilian bird who was determined to land and reversed decision.
... and awnings with metal pole supports, which basically become flying metal spears. Even if they don't jab someone it still hurts to get whacked with a flying metal bar.
.... and any documentation they might be keeping, including inventory lists, who needs what, what goes where, etc.
Also, since you've clearly never been around a helicopter: You get a LOT of crap in your eyes, even if you're wearing eye pro.
Tents, awnings, and other things are still supplies. They were destroyed.
Supplies were destroyed.
Now that is hilariously scoff worthy!
People are making a mountain out of a mole hill with this video. Metal poles were not flying like javelin! Stop making up things not in the video. There was a small dust up that blew a bunch of cardboard and paper around because the chopper obviously tried to land in the huge open area adjacent to the supply camp.
First of all, that should be "javelins" plural, with an s, foreigner.
Second of all, I said "Even if they don't jab someone it still hurts to get whacked with a flying metal bar.", which is an objective FACT.
Additionally, not seeing something happen in the video doesn't mean it didn't happen off screen, nor that it couldn't. The pilot showed either raw incompetence or malice in rotor washing the area after being told to not land.
...and awnings, tents, and other things, as well as loose debris (again, you've never been around anything other than a tunnel under New York City). *These were all in the video and yet you refuse to acknowledge these things.
Anyway, another $0.06 has been deposited to your account. Thank you for defending government malice and incompetence.
You're as bad as the left. Accusing me of being a tinyhat shill, putting words in mouths and out of context quotes to boot!
But keep on propagating that fear porn and fueling slide posts anon!
Agree. It's not like FEMA could order the 101 airborne to do something like this. Flying low in the mountains is very dangerous The pilot is focused on looking for powerlines and such and trying to spot his landing zone. He was probably clueless to the effect of his downdraft.
