00:00i am you know this show i believe is contributing to my descent into hell
00:10oh right into hell right into hell because when you see a story that most people are like
00:15oh my god that poor thing oh yeah i start laughing yeah yeah yes because you know as
00:23footage aired of this poor injured 74 year old missing hiker being rescued in a
00:29helicopter we already left spinning around all i could think of all i could hear was chuck's
00:37old lady voice oh wow wow wow wow wow it was wild i haven't seen it oh lisa you're in for
00:53a treat you are so real you really are okay help oh god help
00:59me oh i'm stuck here i i need to be rescued wow oh oh oh oh oh okay
01:08probably not the worst to see the video we'll get to it here probably not the worst helicopter
01:15rescue of all time but it's enough to make you consider whether you'd rather just die there
01:19in the desert oh then go through this uh here's the story from fox 10 in phoenix about how this
01:25went wrong it was the rescue scene around the world wow what a sight today
01:31happened right through the ballot yeah people cannot stop talking about this
01:34a woman in her 70s fell on the trail the pipes were made and needed a chopper rescue so phoenix fire
01:40they were called a machine for transport but things did not go as planned in the basket that
01:44started spinning and spinning out of control today fox 10's jennifer martinez is live to break this all
01:53down did they answer why this happened yeah they did they say that it's very unusual but it does happen
02:02and the woman is 74 years old and as you're going to see just spinning and spinning as she's airlifted to safety
02:10it's very rare i mean it was going as fast as the rotors
02:29it is it's like a vomit comet g-force things pilots go in oh yeah
02:34that's the worst carnival ride ever oh my god i'm losing god attention
02:38the basket was in after falling spinning out of control what do you do sometimes when we bring the
02:46helicopter up uh from the ground uh it will start to spin so we have a a line attached to the basket
02:54to help prevent that uh today it didn't um the basket started to spin rescue crews attempted procedures to
03:01get it under control they have to drop it back down it actually does start to stop so and then we
03:06slowly brought it back up it gets into the same down wash from the aircraft so what happened when
03:11the basket is coming up um down towards the ground it's not as subject to as much to the to the rotor
03:22wash of the of the helicopter that's coming down through the road my god but as the basket comes up
03:26and it nears the helicopter and the mascot will start to interact and that's when it tends to spin
03:35you guys at the end there she was flipping ass like her head over ass oh yeah yeah she wasn't
03:39going around sideways then she was going over forward she's like put me down blaze you're not helping
03:45you're not helping this doesn't help me this isn't a help are you kidding me she was out cold
03:50like she's out cold i don't know you guys i want someone to watch that legitimate full video
03:57and count the rotations someone had sent us the unedited um i mean the the the speed at which
04:05she's spinning it's like the gravitron man there's a minute and 50 seconds
04:12it is cooking oh this is it this is it i'm so glad these boys have rescued me
04:16so there we go here we go i'm good going up one two three four five six seven eight nine

04:4630 30 30 30. slow down a bit well it's slowing down oh oh my god backwards oh no oh my god 32
04:56you're like the worst oh nope 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 spins
05:0741 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53
05:16this is where it starts picking up
05:25oh my god it's so fast right there
05:27it's a blur it's a blur it's a blur it's going so fast she's a blur it's well over 100 oh my god it's
05:43hundreds it's got to be hundreds it's hundreds dude i can't i can't think about just trying to
05:50count them yeah no it's at that max speed that dave was trying to count at and then the helicopter
05:56tried to move a little bit and get it to slow down well they didn't show you all this huh no
06:00they cut a lot of this out let's fly her over here and that wasn't even the half of it because she didn't
06:06start to go last over tea kettle yet yeah even if things go perfectly and you you're hoisted up
06:11it's still can you imagine being there yeah looking at a helicopter how scary that would be
06:17oh yeah of course and then you start spinning out of control this isn't ideal to begin with
06:21and then the spins i tell you you would just assume that's it right you're gonna break free
06:26and die because you think something terrible has happened right of course because you can't you're
06:31spinning so fast you can't tell what's really happy you don't know the helicopter is just
06:37stationary you think it's gone crazy and you're dying yeah you would think you're dying could have
06:42a heart attack from fear and these guys are like yeah yeah sometimes people spin around don't be a
06:48bitch about it yeah we told a lady to calm down
