You beat me to my point. I dont know how anyone could have lte in a B3, in the conditions shown in the video. The roofs would be blowing off the buildings showing us wind gusts that would effect a b3 to take off like that. That machine would not have seen more than 85 % on take off with 5 200 lb guys on board and full fuel! Hydraulics off with the collective not locked does appear to be far more plausible, and if that is the case (dumb) but a good job saving it...as they are complete bears to wrestle.
