Elsewhere I have seen/heard folks say how unsafe this was….
The house appears to be on a hill and the helicopters appear to be operating over a valley.
If they had lost an engine in the hover how much of a dropdown would an unarmed ( light ) Apache need to nose down, gain OEI Vbroc and climb away?

What is located on the Valley floor below? Built up area or shrub-land?

No longer important as Pete has awarded them a “Get out of Jail Free Card” not to mention the probable DFC and promotion.
