YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this follow-up to our breakdown of the tragic NYC helicopter crash, we’re joined by helicopter expert and retired Marine Colonel Joe Yannessa. While many have pointed to a “bump mast” as the cause of the mid-air disintegration, Col. Joe — with decades of rotary-wing flight experience — explains why that theory doesn’t hold up.
Together, we walk through how helicopters fly, what can cause catastrophic failure in mid-air, and what the public may be misunderstanding about this incident.
This is a serious, informed discussion aimed at separating speculation from facts.
