...somewhat pertinent to the thread about low level fairground rides over congested areas.
Why pick on that particular type of operation? This could and has happened to anyone operating over congested areas on any kind of operation in any kind of helicopter, and at any realistic operating altitude. ENG, public safety, tours, whatever. They are all typically flying at or about 1000AGL, give or take, avoiding the flow of fixed wing traffic. Even if they were up at 2000AGL, any decent size city is going to be more than a few miles in extent. You are not always going be able to glide your way out of the problem space, which is going to be full of buildings, fences, trees, wires, cars and every other kind of obstacle.
Everybody walked away = good auto
Hope I do as well if the time ever comes
