unbelievable..

The landing did take skill. But in reality he had what are ideal conditions, it was daylight and the weather was sunny. Maybe there was some wind.

The one's that don't make the news are the helicopter rescues that are in the dark, in storms, shitty terrain, and winds that are changing. When the chopper is being bounced up and down by wind gusts and micro bursts.

the skill in the rescue video is how close he is to a rock wall, not how small the landing zone is.
that has a few consequences if he clips a rotor. it's not a peak, or a roof, where you've got clear around you.
