    This is possibly one of the most embarrassing helicopter crashes ever. If the pilot is reading this – we apologise – but you can’t hide stuff like this for long.

    The pilot of this particular craft was transporting three actors from a local TV show from one shoot location to the next, when things went belly up. After some initial hesitance, the helicopter takes off – only to do a loop and crash into the road just 15 metres from its initial starting point.

    Apparently one of the actors had asked to turn back so that they could pick up a cameraman.

    A man in the clip shouts something about the hydraulics failing. But the accident report revealed that the hydraulics were working perfectly fine. The authorities suspect that the pilot inadvertently flicked the hydraulic switch off when he meant to switch the speakers on.

    So yes, the hydraulics did fail – but only because Mr.Pilot made them fail.
