Like watching Borat in the gift shop.

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.

Downwind transition gone wrong?

Looking at the video again around 31-31 seconds I would tend to disagree. The front wheels are visible above the bonnet of the car in the foreground and the front of the car appears to be swinging.

Damned lucky chap there as it's backing up, looks like he nearly gets hit by the tail rotor.

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.

The famous "I can pull myself out of the drainage ditch after taxiing in it" @ Osubi

I am still trying to figure out why a disaster management agency has an Mi-35......
