A compilation of two videos from the quayside:


The first video shows clearly the line from the top of the tower to the hook, getting closer as the 350 descends. Both videos show a cameraman relocating away from the shot of a lifetime: I bet he won't live that one down!

The second video has the accident from about 3:40 onwards, but watch the crewman. Having had the scare of a lifetime, he is then first one into the cockpit apparently shutting down the engine, then looking to the pilot.

I'd be buying him more than one drink
