Slight tail wind going by his crash cloud, wonder what DA he was at.

I just laugh.... in what lifetime is this a "hard landing"
A hard landing is when you bend a skid or the tailboom is not quite inline etc but its still standing upright on it feet...
sorry to break it to you... it crashed.. good and hard !

I was being facetious Mr Pitch, hence my use of the inverted commas for 'hard landing'. I've seen softer 'landings'!

Capt.
Its not you im laughing at.. Ive seen this title used all over social media about this crash.. I thought you had simply copied the link.
Its like they are afraid to call a spade a spade.

It wouldn't be the first time someone has laughed at me!
You're right though, the media can't make up its mind. This crash is a 'hard landing' and yet when someone pulls off a perfect autorotation with no damage to the aircraft it gets labeled as a 'crash landing'.

Y'all know it's clearly wirestrike-induced VRS exacerbated by flying VFR into IMC.
