So I'm not the only one who thought that looked like a circus operation? Pretty sure a dude almost got crushed by the Huey...Holy shit that was unsafe.
Holy shit that was unsafe.

No, it's based on the Marine nearly getting crushed.Is that based on your vast knowledge of rigging and long line operations?
At no point was the helicopter being hoisted dropping and potentially coming to rest on top of a Marine in the video I saw. I suppose every time someone does a vertrep it looks unsafe as well? I guess that depends on the definition of safe.No, it's based on the Marine nearly getting crushed.
Sorry I was poking fun at the situation and clearly m,y humor did not come through!“I don’t know how quotations work but I like to make misleading statements...”

Because things are done differently in that part of the world and it’s not a hill to die on. If someone making a public apology fulfills the Japanese cultural requirement and enables a VERY important relationship to endure then what's the harm? It may seem like Kabuki theater but Kabuki theater is part of Japan.Still not sure why we kowtow to these fuckers. They lost, we won, spoils to the winners. They should be blaming their own ancestors for us being there, not the pilots making precautionary landings.
