Helicopter Accident When Attempting to Lift Loudspeakers
Description
Actual accident happens after 9:15 mins into the video. Community Loudspeaker horns are airlifted onto stadium roof using a Bell Long Ranger 206 Helicopter in an attempt to mount them. The stack is dropped onto the support frame. The whole stack plummets to the ground 15m below. First bouncing on seating area and then launching forward onto the field perimeter. The frame and some of the horns were damaged. Fortunately no person was injured. Notice dust and smoke as he tries to hang on. The 400kg stack bounces and goes over the edge. There were workers installing seating below but they were clever enough to run upstairs instead of down when the stack came down.
