any helo guy comment on what might have gone wrong? loss of tail rotor control? Looks like it was a wild ride, they were really moving. I think (imho) what helped them walk away was the 2 part impact. hitting the edge of the roof upright first then flipping over to the lower roof may have helped spread the impact out over a longer period of time therefore making it somewhat less sever. Luckey there was no fire - don't want to sound ike a reporter saying that though.

Awsome flying on the part of the pilot

They replaced the crew with stunt chickens before the flight.
Stunt chickens stuffed with Gale Sayers muscle tissue.
Try to beat them down...you can't!!!!
