Just came across a couple interesting photos of a helicopter crash in Afghanistan this morning. Looks like dynamic rollover but it is hard to say:

I hope everyone is okay but...Wow, is that first photo ever a great photo! Kind of a National Geographic style picture. Also, if dynamic rollover, what might they have hooked the wheel on? looks pretty barren

The second picture reminds me of an old adage "what steps do you take in case of fire?......LARGE ONES!!"

 

Hope all got out OK

Wow, very powerful first photograph.

 

Hope everyone was okay.

Thanks, I should have been more clear in the original post. I just wanted to share an interesting photo. By no means is this a recent crash..
