What the hell...it didn't explode! You mean Michael Bay and John Woo and all those explosions *don't* actually happen in real life!?

From the comments:

The pilots were trying to impress the guys on the ground by coming in really low the same way they went low over the building. But the combination of thin air and pilot overconfidence made the helicopter lose altitude faster then the pilots expected.

Oops...

No injuries? I guess the guy that got knocked down when the tail hit must have barely, BARELY missed it. Luckiest guy ever?

Wow, how much are those things worth again? lol Tax dollars at work. ;)

Though, those people are really giving the military a bad name. I respect the soldiers as a whole, they do good work, it's too bad some of them have to be idiots and do crap like this.

So it finally got to the point where we're replacing real soldiers with kids on XBOX Live?

LOL I can just see it now.

Dad: "But you've been playing for 3 hours! Listen, it's the 6 oclock news I just want the TV for one hour!"

kid: "ok fine" *turns off xbox*

TV: "This is CNN breaking news. A chopper has just crashed in Afghanistan. This is one of the first to be controlled via the Xbox live network part of an experiment. Some speculate a data link was suddenly loss. Investigation is under way. Now in sports..."
