Interesting username

That's family, I identify as an attack helicopter. So no trash talking please.
Stuffz007
This is so fake! You hardly ever see any wild helicopters come so close to humans for water.

Last title: Honey, why is the pool empty?
Martinelli92
Or just an angry neighboor stealing some water?
PersonMan000
I'm guessing it's an optical illusion, but did anyone else wonder how it kept flying while the blades spun so slowly?

"Wtf! My pool water!!" - home owner probably

Honestly this is reckless as fuck. Cool though.

Love your username. Any precision?

Not worth it. Let everything burn. Eat at Arby's

You know graphics are getting good when, at first, I thought this was from a video game.
lerfi
Wait.. how is it staying in the air with the little fans rotating so little?
AMartianPotato
Stroboscopic effect.
skilledmechanic
I am surprised that the helicopter can still pick up all that water after already carrying the weight of that man's balls
Elonth
Now would probable be a good time to inform the pilot that i like to store my Gasoline in my backyard pool.
Cheomesh
*FOOSH* Aw THAT'S AWESOME.
TheCrimsonFukr
Nah, they will figure it out soon enough.
mountainjedi
That thing is called a Bambi bucket

PLOT TWIST: Pool full of ethanol

I like how (s)he slowed down the blades to not damage property or mess up the landscaping. The neighbor's yard looks like shit tho.
AMartianPotato
Stroboscopic effect.

A wild helicopter drinking from a local pond.

Is it ok to steal people's swimming pools like this?
Tracomaster
The solid walls are quite a danger for helicopters. caused one of the helos to crash during the osama bin laden raid
TrijezniMujo
Californians have become desperate for water, so desperate that they're commiting air raids.

When theres a bee in the pool

Hahaha I pray this is not a fake
tohubohu
I think it's not fake? Wasn't it big brother?
dagg3r
I love how he slows the rotors down so it doesn't disturb stuff in the backyard
Cheomesh
bruh
olegh
It's the little things
only90skidswillgetthis
It's in extreme slow motion otherwise it wouldn't be hovering.
AMartianPotato
Nope, this isn't slow motion at all.
dagg3r
Haha oh you...
robodoggy
The frame rate of the camera is just close to the frequency of the rotors.
only90skidswillgetthis
Oh no shit you're probably right. That's why the trees look like they're moving faster than the blades.
MacMoose
Brave pilot. As Heli pilot, this is actually quite dangerous. The ground effect near buildings can cause unpredictable turbulence
niet3sche
I can hear the blade-slap from here.
RWebb00000
also, wind. wind + building = bad.
ruthbaderginsburg
As someone who started flying mini quadcopters in the house, this could not be more true. Ton of respect to heli pilots.
longtinelurker
As someone who used to be helicopter arcade games I have very little knowledge on this subject.
SlantedAperture
That's what supposedly happened in the Usama raid.
MacMoose
Yep, same principal. Much worse because they were closer to the ground and walls on 4 sides. Those pilots' skills are almost beyond human
umpbumpfizz
And his rotors are *pretty* fucking close to that retaining wall. Balls of steel, but definitely concerning to watch.
JezusChrizt
And they are moving so slow.
mioelnir
Rotational frequency vs camera shutter speed. Remember, all a helicopter wants to do all day is fall to the ground.
JezusChrizt
I know ;), I design aircraft for a living. I do appreciate the effort and explanation.
badClementine
I kind of want to know if they need owner's permission to do this. Or like, it's just kind of a "I need this" type of thing.
TheCrankyCow
you probably could sue, they are a contractor, that said, It's not worth it.
tantricpooper
State of emergency. Plus, they are trying to keep YOUR house from burning down, so, take all you want.
sindrealmost
In Norway, no... no permission needed should they need to do this. All water is fair game in a firefighting situation.
Reenforcements
Wild helicopters are known to drink from pools and such. It's normal. The residents don't really mind.
Cheomesh
As a homeowner, I am more than OK with Emergency crews making use of my things to save lives.It'll bite but it can be replaced.
badClementine
I totally agree. Do what you need to do, I'm just curious if legally they have to jump through any hoops.
Cheomesh
Possibly. Probably in the fine print of your tax code somewhere, though.

Mad owner comes out with a stinger missile screaming "Thats my water"
orbobb
tis America after all
atesomebadfugu
Helitack crews are badass. Helo drops the FF's off and goes to look for water. Anything is fair game, even hot tubs. >
TheForestryGuy
I was on a fire (Engine Crew) this summer and we saw a helicopter flying around near us. A half hour later 3 guys come walking out of 1/?
TheForestryGuy
the woods and it spooked me for a sec until I realized they were the helitack crew who had jumped out and hiked in to meet us. Cool guys.
atesomebadfugu
when I was a FF, we knew where every pond, pool, hot tub, spring and lake was in the mountains, and we were ready to suck them dry.
baconsmellsreallygood
Does the city compensate the owners of the pool/water source for using thier water?
nightof11bangbangs
That would be quite a shock to be taking a dip and a chopper comes and sucks out lil timmy
Zaranthan
If you're close enough to a forest fire that a FF aircraft is considering your location for a water source, you're going to fucking die.
nightof11bangbangs
What? Why?
