Apparently a cable being used to erect a ladder made contact with the rear rotor.

@sakb Not just apparently, there is a video of it which makes it anything but proven.
A cable which connected to the helicopter (which it was lowering) was attached to the top of a mast and when the chopper went too low, the path which the cable took, intersected with the blades of the helicopter. It was fucking stupid and retarded. Whoever decided it should have been done that way should be stripped of their qualifications and job.

You can see it happened in New Zealand and not in USA because it didn't exploded...

Very lucky that nobody was killed.
The pilot was nearly ejected from the copter.
He will be released from hospital this afternoon.

Latest footage on T.V shows a worker on the ground pulling on a cable which then hits the rotors. New footage is awesome. Hopefully someone will put it up for you.

It was said on the news that the blades hit the mast next to the lifting site. It must be one of the luckiest days in the life of everybody around. I'm glad for the good ending.

@slapstop Even better would have been not smashing an aircraft to bits.
