The minister owed his ultimate safety to the skill of the pilot, who claimed to be in control of the aircraft the whole time
Well he sure is a skilled pilot then, it looked like he was struggling to control it to me:hmm:. The way he positioned in the far corner prior to lift makes it look like he knew he was hot/heavy/high (not necessarily all of those...) before he even started to lift.

That's the kind of skill I'll be happy to miss out on!

Looks like it did a +180 just before the skids made contact?

Elevation just over 1900 metres, tail rotor not quite up to the job.
