The first one was already discussed here, IIRC - the consensus was that
the tail rotor touched the ground during the flare maneuver.

The Sea Knight in the second video seems to barely miss the landing pad
and get caught in the net with one wheel assembly - he tries to take
off again, but starts rolling towards the stuck wheel.

The third one seems to be a malfunctioning tail rotor to me - there is
no obvious reason why the helo suddenly starts to turn. Such a
malfunction could have happened at any time during flight...

Does anybody have dates and details of these accidents?

The second one was some time in the last five or six years, and happened off
the coast of Southern California. I'll see if I can find more details.
