Based on speculation from the Blancolirio report on the accident: "The Bell 407 helicopter flew into the snorkel as it was dangling down below the Sikorsky S-64E helicopter."

Mig 23 down. Browne on the case, although he stumbles on the pronounciation of Ypsilanti.

I'm amazed the MiG had functional energetics to fire the seats.  Russian escape system cartridges and propellant actuated devices are very dirty, heavy metals and other ingredients, can't be made here.  I'd also think ITAR would make it difficult to import them.

Uhm.  At 8:39 is that a dude? Very detailed and well done video but that personage is a little distracting.

From Apocalypse Now:

There's a conflict in every human heart between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil. The good does not always triumph. Sometimes the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature. Every man has got a breaking point. You and I have. Walter Kurtz has reached his. And very obviously, he has gone insane.
