Helicopter accidentally picks up car
Doesn't look much like a power loss caused the reject, unless that thing has epic single engine performance, and if it was that good there was no need to try and land where he did.
Looks more like a very heavy transition where he runs out of power before getting translational lift.

Strange that he runs out of power but can then lift a one tonne car up in the hover!
It didn't actually pick up a one tonne car. It got hooked up with the rear and dragged it around but the heavy end with the engine in it stayed firmly in contact with the ground.
Yes, and the TR gets close to the car next to him. If they had clouted that there would have been carnage! I saw the aftermath of an Mi-35 that thrashed itself to death on an airport apron and there was debris everywhere - kept finding chunks of metal in the grass hundreds of metres away for months later.
