Super Puma Ditching in the North Sea

Is that the one where the pilot "shuts off the main rotor" and the blades slow to about 2RPM before the auto? I'll pass.

Oh its better than that : They slow to about 2 rpm before and DURING the auto !
Talk about non realistic ! Its worse than those hollywood movies that use the wrong sound for the wrong heli (incredibly As 350s sound like B206s in Hollywood).

I'll pass too.

I said it was interesting, I didn't say it was technically correct!
