SCARY TOWN — We've shown you some crazy videos over the years in our Have You Seen This? section, but this is up there as one of the craziest.
A helicopter's rotor got tangled in a wire while helping build a seven-story structure to support a Christmas tree. When the rotor catches a cable, the helicopter nearly snaps in half and crashes. The video is jarring, and you can't help but gasp as you see everything happen right before your eyes.
If you take a look at the date of the video, you'll see it's from a few years ago, 2011, but it's gaining a second wind, because it's almost unbelievable. What's even more unbelievable is the fact the pilot walks away from the crash with only minor injuries, thankfully.
I don't have any clever quips or witty remarks on this video. Let's be honest, am I ever really witty or clever? Anyway, this video speaks for itself and will leave you speechless.
Check it out, then remember to breathe.
