Yeh I just saw the crash.
What a weird one. The helo seemed to be operating normally, as he got to 50-100ft AGL, he flared very agressively, almost 90deg pitch up. At that point the camera had lost site of it, and the veiw was switched to another camera.
The helo leveled out, the proceeded to spin about the mast, with an apparent lack of TR authority. THe helo descended pretty quick crashing into a tree before rolling onto its right side on the ground.
Good news all OK, Santa was walking around after
.
If anyone else saw it would love to hear some opinions. The big flare to loss of TR authority has me confused.
