Looks to me like he caught the bi-fold hanger door with his main rotor. If you can figure out the "N" number you could get the accident report.

Agree with David, he hit the hanger with his main rotor...

lesofprimus we are neighbours.
When I first started flying helos that was my biggest worry, because we would get down into the trees pretty much. I remember the first NOE flight we did I could have sworn the trees were inches from our blades. Over time I learned how to tell the pilot we were too close and he needed to adjust and I could get them close to buildings or anythign that was required down to fractions of a feet just by calling them in.

I guess it was the myopic view of the camera, because he looked like he was quite a way from the bldg. But based upon the damage, that has to be it. Good Lord. Looks like the lady was injured. $$$$$$
