Another...
I was just watching a program on mining in Indonesia on Discovery. The research helis needed somewhere to land in the dense thick jungle, so they winched down some poor sod with a chainsaw, who under extreme care of the winchman, then proceeded to clear the upper branches and leaves first, so eventually he could get to the terra-firma so he could fell the trees. So here's another one, using a chopper to create a helipad ! ( " some of the chainsaw men got killed " said the narrator....really ? )
