Not that the engine knows it is night, close to a structure, OGE, and over hostile terrain. It will just continue running. Just saying.
Looks like the R44 is providing a spotlight which might not be flyable on a drone
The footage could have been taken by a drone, but I'm assuming that helicopters and drones flying together is not done for obvious reasons
(also, helicopters add more spectacle, including noise)
