This is the dramatic moment a Mexican Navy helicopter makes a hard landing after a sudden engine failure. Footage shows the MI-17 aircraft lifting off from the Fourth Naval Region base in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, on Monday. Seconds after takeoff, the helicopter suffered a loss of main engine power, forcing the crew to carry out emergency procedures and make a controlled but forceful landing near the base. Authorities confirmed the aircraft was on a routine mission at the time of the incident. The Secretariat of the Navy said in a statement: 'During the takeoff of an MI-17 type helicopter in the Fourth Naval Region, headquartered in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, a power failure was recorded in the aircraft's main engine, which led to an emergency landing. 'No injuries to people or human losses were recorded as a result of this incident. 'Safety protocols were immediately activated, and evaluations are being conducted by the insurance company for the corresponding procedures.'

All helicopters are dangerous. But Russian helicopters? Best to stay out of all of them.

I fucken LOVE a good copter crash vid. This one was ok.... Of course it was great for the pilot, passengers, and ground crew all around. I was hoping for at least a leg removal from one of those spinning blades.

@Freakazoidalmaniac There are some good compilations on youtube, about 30 minutes of carnage.

@Freakazoidalmaniac I love it when people on the ground walk into the tail rotor. It seems to happen a couple times a year.

Ummmm.
Please do some research before commenting.
The MI 17 is a Russian helicopter.

@Cripple I think essence might have meant if it were maintained and flown by the Russians...
