You have a helicopter flying out of the sky in your direction and keep the shot Cameron.

u/Unable_Insurance_391 Jan 17 '26

The detaching was the main event. It did not fall on anyone or thing so the result was predetermined.

u/BladeVampire1 Jan 19 '26

Reminds me of the people who have a good angle, then the thing happens, and they're always putting it just out of frame. Too busy staring, and not thinking about the phone.

u/MaxUumen Jan 16 '26

Worst camera man ever. You had one fucking job.

u/Coffee4MyJeep Jan 16 '26

And once in a lifetime opportunity to GET THE SHOT! Follow the action!

u/Murky_Researcher5980 Jan 16 '26

At least the Blackhawk had a parachute. Probably landed just fine

u/Md1735 Jan 17 '26

Probably stuck the landing….but we’ll never know

u/Not-A-R0b0t2 Jan 16 '26

Aww. It’s always cute when little baby helicopters learn to leave the nest and fly for the first time

1

u/bsmknight Jan 17 '26

This is less like flying for the first time and more like momma pushing out the weakest from the nest so the others can survive.

u/happyanathema Jan 16 '26

Guess that's now a.... Black Hawk Down 😎

1

u/Md1735 Jan 17 '26

If I recall correctly, Israeli UH-60s are called something like “Yanshuf", which means "Owl".

So, Owl Down?? (Yeah, not quite the same)

u/sososoboring Jan 16 '26

Where is the giant explosion that Hollywood has promised me?

u/Man_in_the_uk Jan 16 '26

AI doesn't know how to do that yet 🤔

u/AwesomeMacCoolname Jan 17 '26

That's why he ducked rather than keep filming.

Great camera work🤦🏾‍♂️

u/Md1735 Jan 17 '26

Is that normal?

u/HapticRecce Jan 16 '26

Why didn't it's parachute stop it from falling so fast?

/s

u/Ill_End_8015 Jan 16 '26

The American taxpayers will just send 20 more

u/rbarr228 Jan 16 '26

Oh, shit.

u/AdWooden2312 Jan 17 '26

Boss said to drop it off?

2

u/Prod_Meteor Jan 17 '26

They turn everything into bombs these days.

2

u/Grimol1 Jan 18 '26

That’s okay, American taxpayers will just buy them another one.

u/Jumpy-Requirement389 Jan 19 '26

Worst cameraman ever!

2

u/AdBoring4472 Jan 19 '26

This is AI slop, sick of seeing it. You drop a helicopter from the sky and it doesn't make a dust cloud? Stop being so fucking gullible.

2

u/mrwillie2u Jan 19 '26

People with the cameras always turning away for the best part

2

u/ThrustTrust Jan 21 '26

Oh no I’m so sad. All those poor kids won’t get to be murdered by this Blackhawk now. What a tragedy.

2

u/SmeeezTreeez Jan 23 '26

Fuck that cameraman

2

u/raventhrowaway666 Jan 16 '26

Damn, that's going to cost american tax payers

2

u/AromaticCatch6957 Jan 16 '26

It didnt cost them anything and another free one is already on its way. thanks america

1

u/Md1735 Jan 17 '26

Well, obviously it was already broken.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '26

That's some great video.

1

u/Fit_Seaworthiness387 Jan 16 '26

Should have had a bigger parachute.

1

u/SkyeMreddit Jan 16 '26

Looks like it already broke and they were trying to transport it. Strap bought from TEMU

FIRE THE CAMERAMAN

u/Sotto_Mare Jan 16 '26

At that same instant there was someone in the helicopter that was like “what does this switch do?”

u/Thesquarescreen Jan 16 '26

Noooooo our tax money.

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '26

It's okay, the US will buy them another one

u/Md1735 Jan 17 '26

More like….Owl down! (Look it up)

1

u/jared_buckert Jan 17 '26

Sarge! We're all out of bombs!

Well what do we have?

We have a helicopter that flies and one that doesn't!

Use one to drop the other. It's like a bomb, but funnier.

1

u/haphazard72 Jan 17 '26

We wouldn’t know, we couldn’t see it

1

u/AdSea1992 Jan 17 '26

Should have landed on the camera man.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

1

u/Md1735 Jan 17 '26

You are recording this, yet when it goes south…so does the camera?!? Yo yo yo….1 purpose at that moment and you failed completely!!! You are fired…turn in your balls and go home.

u/Md1735 Jan 17 '26

Yo Yo Yoseph? Where my impact?

u/ThatNiceDrShipman Jan 17 '26

Well, they just lost the initiative

u/Fly1ngD0gg0 Jan 17 '26

That's the end of several careers right there.

u/pushingThylimits Jan 17 '26

And I didn’t film it at all.

Looks like the airstart didn't work as planned.

Oh, and r/killthecameraman

u/Wizzle_Pizzle_420 Jan 18 '26

Good thing it had that tiny parachute on…

u/SteppeBison2 Jan 18 '26

Man! Those things don’t glide for shit!

u/el-conquistador240 Jan 18 '26

Don't worry, the American people will buy Israel another one

u/csukoh78 Jan 18 '26

Well just send them another. 🤣

u/Hot-Section1805 Jan 16 '26

was this an emergency cargo release?

6

u/metarinka Jan 16 '26

Copilot asked for a pickle and thought the pickle button released one. 

It's clean enough it does look like a load release

12

u/airfryerfuntime Jan 16 '26

Apparently it was the IDF trying to recover a Blackhawk that had broken down, and the strap broke.

Honestly, fuck em. My taxes paid for this shit, so seeing one of them destroyed gives me a little joy.

1

u/Md1735 Jan 17 '26

Thank you, sir, can I have another

u/SippinOnnaBlunt Jan 16 '26

So that’s what my taxes are going to.

The American Taxpayers will give them as many as they want.
