Could be true, no big deal in a third world country (sorry to put Mexico in that class but they don't have the health and safety laws of a western european country), have been on Super Pumas and 212's in East Timor and Oman with crowds right up next to machine, you just hope like hell nothing goes wrong, but if you waited for officials (police etc) to clear the crowd you would be there all day, fact of life in these countries , those who live in the shelted western world just don't see things like that.

Ask Aser he is the Mexican helo guru, should be able to shed light on this event.

P.S. Love the rocket pods on the Black Hawk, that is crowd control!!
