My guess is that the LAW found out where these boys had gone to play......and this is the end of the inning!

Is that a camera boom hanging off the right side of the helicopter? :-?

I don't know about this. It seems the pilot may have placed the copter in a place he did not need to, between and close to the rocks. I know there appears to be feet to spare, but if there are any helicopter pilots out there, chime in. Maybe a little photoshop going on here.

Thats' true blinky, he's just of foot or so off center, but, that's the smallest set of blades I've seen.

Another point about being where he shouldn't... there's a ground effect where the prop wash recirculates and causes loss of lift.

A good chopper pilot can do amazing things with them. I will never forget the movie ""Birds of Prey". An ex-nam chopper pilot was flying as a weather guy for a radio station when a major bank robbery takes place and the crooks get away in a chopper. The weather guy chases them all over the place. In one scene the choppers fly through a hanger. It had never been done before and I read an account of how the stunt pilot did it....very carefully.
Search "amazing helicopter" on you tube and try and keep your mouth closed. ;)
That particular heli has a five bladed rotor, so they don't have to be that long.
