A video of the final landing attempt was captured by a witness, who was located about 130 ft south. He had observed the other landing attempts and was concerned that the helicopter may crash, so positioned himself behind a car at the corner of the FBO's hangar.
Why the hell didn't someone get on the radio and reason with this bloke to put it on the ground? They seem to have had plenty of time to get the mobile phones out to film the demise of these poor people but, none at all to take a sensible course of action. For crying out loud it would have been safer to have gone and driven the trolley away to prevent him from trying again if he was having that much trouble.
