Praise the Lord that it did end well.

From the comfort of my armchair, I don't know Honolulu, but at 3000' I would imagine there would be a few better landing options than this road. It also must have been quite a hard landing to make the skids splay like that, anyone know the DA at the time, maybe that was the only spot to plant it at the last minute? Do they practice EOLs to the ground in 'merica (Hawaii), the way those rotors are drooping I think they are very lucky they didn't enter the cabin after such a hard landing.

Anyways, glad they walked away from it and the pilot is now better from the experience.
