Yea:

"As the helicopter neared the ground, the tail rotor blades struck one of the tires. The helicopter then began to rotate to the left and touched down hard on the helipad, coming to rest upright. "

I hate it when I fly into the twilight zone, and physics is reversed and everything goes backwards! Its a real bitch pulling on my socks when friction is negative, and pouring my coffee is difficult when gravity is reversed.

Or maybe its when an FAA examiner gets the facts wrong, but.... NO that can't ever happen!
