A terrifying moment caught on camera 🚁 What do you think went wrong here?

Not sure but that was a hell of save..great pilot at the controls.

Thank God it didn't escalate beyond this

Compressor failure? Smoke... second stage shaft failure?

Engine failure

Engine failure near MAUW I would imagine and not enough power available to keep the tail at bay with the obvious result.

Hydraulic line broke.

Possibly max load, left engine fail

Incidente de hace dos meses atrás en México, Falla de potencia del motor principal. Helicóptero MI-17 de la Secretaría de Marina (SEMAR) realizó un aterrizaje de emergencia durante maniobras de despegue en la Cuarta Región Naval, con sede en Mazatlán, Sinaloa, luego de registrar una falla de potencia en el motor. Heridos levemente las cinco ersonas que estaban en el helícoptero.

"Terrifying" is an exaggeration. It looks more like a well-executed forced landing after an engine failure. The pilot seems to have kept the helicopter under control until touchdown.

Explosion du turbo

Hey Super, build a Flight Telemetry & Aerodynamic Loss of Control Analyzer web application designed for interactive 3D aviation safety investigation and aerodynamic stall analysis. The visual interface features a live 3D glass-cockpit telemetry viewport rendered with Three.js showing an aircraft model with dynamic control surface deflections (elevators, ailerons, rudder, flaps), dynamic 3D aerodynamic vector arrows (Lift, Drag, Thrust, Gravity, and Relative Airflow streamtubes), and a spatial 3D flight path ribbon trailing behind the aircraft. In the first viewport, users can immediately scrub a pre-loaded complete representative incident scenario—'High AoA Aerodynamic Stall during Steep Climb'—or interactively fly the aircraft using a touch/mouse control yoke stick and throttle slider. The application computes continuous flight dynamics: Angle of Attack (AoA), Indicated Airspeed (IAS), Vertical Speed (VSI), G-force Load Factor, Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Lift/Drag coefficients ($C_L$, $C_D$), and stall hysteresis boundaries. When AoA exceeds critical limits, the UI triggers audible and visual 'STALL! STALL!' warnings, wing drop physics, and dynamic altitude drop, allowing users to practice stall recovery stick-forward pitching maneuvers. Provide distinct pre-configured incident telemetry scenarios: 1) High AoA Aerodynamic Stall & Wing Drop, 2) Asymmetric Thrust Engine Out Roll Coupling, 3) Microburst Wind Shear Encounter, and 4) Deep Stall Pitch Lockup. Include an interactive Aerodynamic Envelope chart ($C_L$ vs AoA curve) highlighting the current operating point in real time. Provide complete telemetry recording and export capabilities allowing users to download CSV logs containing multi-axis time-series data (Timestamp, Altitude, Airspeed, AoA, Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Thrust, G-Load, Stall Status) and full visual state reset controls. The layout must be fully responsive, accessible, dark-themed (slate `#0f172a` backdrops with neon aviation HUD colors), and performant on mobile and desktop viewports without horizontal overflow or canvas overlap. Ensure canonical metadata, summary_large_image card bindings, and absolute site URLs are strictly configured for canonical slug `flight-telemetry-stall-analyzer-60` at ` with Open Graph image `

woman in cocpit, probably

Plus de peur que de mal. Pas de blessé à voir

A ruptured fuel line?

Probably Russian made. Western sanctions preventing regular maintenance or replaced with inferior part. It's hard out there for dictatorships.

Left donkey (No.1) quit. Not enough room to land back on after moving forward.

atleast the pilot was calm

A million parts revolving around an oil leak …..😬

Pompaż sprężarki lub awaria zmęczeniową łopatek turbiny, która doprowadziła do natychmiastowego rozszczelnienia wewnętrznych komór olejowych. Olej pod ciśnieniem z łożysk wirnika (łożysko nr 4 lub 5) trysnął na rozgrzane tarcze turbiny i kanał wylotowy spalin. Zamiast się spalić, olej zaczął się gwałtownie gotować i odparowywać, co wygenerowało chmurę gęstego, szarego dymu wyrzucanego przez dyszę.

#1 Flameout followed by Vortex Ring State would be my guess

Engine out

FOD in Engine

Falla de turbina izquierda.

Russian heli crashed. Why do you think anything went wrong?

IT CRASHED!!!!!

Engine 1 fail

Needed to go for a number 2

Era um amigo meu pilotando...

flying debris?

Lavatory drain pipe implosion near turbine engine exaust tube most likeley. Hell of a save though for a piloto!

Is this a marvel of russian engineering?

Flame out ?

Stuck in the down draft

He left the handbrake on
