Clipboard said it, as its been said many times before. Something terribly wrong when the courts determine what clutters your skies......I still have my R100 and have a good guess as to Lat/Lon if the pool gets started.
Again it goes without saying that the Huey is a tough piece of machinery. This is a perfect example.

Im sure you should only care when your on board. Many causes for black smoke. One that comes to mind in the Lycoming case is unburnt fuel igniting intermittently.. More reason for me to up my wager to R200. Sad part is it will probably be at the loss of someones family member.
If this is one of the older models, it may not have the Crashworthy Fuel System on Board. We lost a lot of folks due to post/impact fires with those aircraft as the Fuel bladder sits right behind most of the PAX seats. Sure makes a big fireball.
Make sure you tuck in your Nomex.
