Police helicopter crashes onto Glasgow pub

and possibly hundreds, of feet.

Sorry, can't abide with that. It only takes thirty feet or less to do that sort of damage and kill people. After all, ever had the kitchen chair jerked out from under you. Don't do it, that can put a person in a wheelchair.

As I have stated before I have seen the result of a power on overpitch from about 30 to 40 feet, 2 up in a R22, full fuel, I.E. MAUW or better, both succumbed not long after impact, but blades were still not showing the classic signs of overpitch bend.

It is a critical difference those extra few feet, twenty feet is survivable in most even without a blemish in some, but hundreds of feet usually leaves the Tail Boom with many fractures.
