The footage clearly
showed the machine hovering, attempting to get in close, then things got
bad. It was on Mt Hood or Mt Rainier.
Right down the street at Mount Rainier.

There was an example of that which made the rounds last year. There was
a high
altitude rescue involving an H-60. The helicopter simply dropped out of
the
sky, hit the mountain and rolled down the slope.
If anyone has a clip of that please post a link.

Actually, that was a windy situation on a very steep slope that ended
with a rotor strike (if I remember correctly). The footage clearly
showed the machine hovering, attempting to get in close, then things got
bad. It was on Mt Hood or Mt Rainier.
But many helios have fairly limited ceilings and simply can't go very
high.
