Finally they should have never let those people walk up to the chopper, that guy should have walked the plane over to them. I did like his observation that the model was $800. I imagine a Robinson is around $200000. Thanks for posting this but I think it's a good example of what not to do.
He mentioned the tail rotor many times as they descended and hovered around the trees.
