Helicopter takes down aircraft by towing it [video]

Imagine the following situation: You look out your home window and suddenly see the fuselage of a gigantic helicopter crashing in your backyard. This is basically what happens in the video in this article. The images were captured in Afghanistan and show the body of a Boeing CH-47 Chinook being erected by a Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion. Everything proceeds normally until the ropes come loose by accident and the aircraft crashes to the floor.

To get a better idea of ​​their size, the image above shows, on the left, the helicopter that was towing the other and, on the right, what fell. It must have been a great scare, both for those who performed the operation and for those who heard Chinook's impact on the ground.
