As a former Blackhawk crewchief, what probably happened is they were landing for one reason or another. Thought they’d somehow show up and be heroes and boost morale, maybe drop off or pick up some of the supplies for distribution (back to FEMA where it can go to illegals).
Crewchief in back politely said: “Sir, you’re fuckin everything up. Their shit’s going everywhere, and now they’re gonna hate us even more.”
At which point, Mr wannabe hero pilot decided to depart the area, tail between his legs.
Yeah, I responded to the guy under you, too. I have an admitted bias where I'd want to clear the crew of wrongdoing, but after watching the whole thing, it really comes down to incompetence vs malice. But even if it's incompetence, what were they incompetently trying to do?
Really, where exactly was he going to land? He was directly over the supplies ffs. I've spent hours in helos of all types, you can't get a pilot to land any where there isn't plenty of room. There was no HLZ under him.
After watching it again and trying to understand the crew's intention (I'll admit with some bias FOR the crew cause I used to do that job) I genuinely can't come up with some reasonable excuse for what they were doing.
On one hand I wanted to say my pilots did some ridiculous things and could put it down whether there was an HLZ or not, but those poles seemed too close. There's no way that behind all the stuff flying around, there was room to put it down. I can't throw a full-on indictment of what they were doing without hearing from the crew themselves, but you may be right.
Class action lawsuits!
Yes, agencies can be sued but so can individuals. It might be difficult to find out who was manning that aircraft but it's not impossible.
If, and when, the corruption is dealt with individuals who participated in any small way should live in fear of having all of their worldly possessions taken from them. They knowingly made a conscious decision to negatively affect the lives of their fellow Americans. It might take years if not decades but they should not be let off easy because they were "just doing their job". Scum of the Earth.
Good thing for the pilot no one with malicious intent tried to sling a rock into his tail rotor. The Palestinians and Afghanis have caused significant problems doing that sort of thing.
Completely unrelated to the discussion at hand, I remember some excerpts from some of my old training that, if you need to engage a helicopter with small arms, you should aim for the center shaft of the main rotor.
Like I said, completely unrelated to anything right now.
This is the third time this post has been removed today. Folks really need to start exercising discernment or they will be utterly lost in the coming weeks.
This pilot was not flying exceptionally low. It was clearly a survey of the area, no way was this an intentional act of malice. There is plenty to be upset about regarding the federal response to Helene, but this is a non-story and only distracts from the real ones.
I'm only applying logic to interpret the video, without letting emotion affect my judgement.
The sensationalist taglines on these videos are the first clue. "Sabotaging, destroying" supplies. How could a strong gust of wind "destroy" the supplies shown in the video? All I see is some papers and an unsecured tent blowing around. And again, the helicopter never drops below a couple hundred feet above ground. If this pilot were acting with malice he would have flown much lower to create more wind.
And really - do people really believe that a national guard pilot would be do something so petty and malicious? These are people who signed up specifically to help their fellow citizens.
These videos give us so little to go on, yet many here jumped to conclusions along with the tweet authors (assuming those tweet authors are not intentionally pushing disinformation...).

But that’s just my opinion. I could be wrong.
It's sad that the discussion we have to have is incompetence versus malice.
I can easily see some diversity hire not understanding rotor wash, but I can just as easily see some guy being an a-hole.

Land, or at least observe/survey the area.

I assume it's just a young dumbass pilot.
Here is what is being done by the United States of America, unincorporated:

It's deliberate... who are these bad actors? Someone should start shooting at them to see who responds.

it's almost like it's time to start discussing these types of strategies amongst anons to be able to defend ourselves...

This is WAR. The Deep State / Biden regime VS We the People. Appropriate action is fair game, in war.
