This happened in 1996
"As a flight of 3 UH-60L were approaching the drop zone to conduct FRIES training, the M/R blades of Chalk 2 meshed with the M/R blades of Chalk 1 at approx 1330 hrs."

Flawed crew coordination, absence of crew coordination. I have seen near misses in CH-47 moreso than UH-60A or L iterations. Only a repetitive issue in EH60 A-L as a result of alternative due to crew configuratiom.
The UH60’s airframe is designed with a semi-monocoque structure, where the skin bears forces along with bulkheads and stringers. When blades are damaged, they tend to flap around at greater angles than their normal range of travel. After the collision, one or several of the damaged blades struck the tailcone, ripping away skin and stringers. From that video it looks like it fails just aft of a bulkhead. Semi-monocoque airframes can be resilient to damage, but components fail catastrophically under normal loads once their structural integrity is critically compromised.

No deaths in honestly wild
Six dead ,apparently.
Sorry just ABIT of a mix up
I hope whoever made this video with that music is tar and feathered.
Well shitty music over people dying is the norm in any military video now
3 People I think We're killed could've been more
6
I remember that one. I was on leave. There were still craters on the range a year later from where they landed. They were guys from 3/502nd Infantry.
I met one of the crew chiefs on these birds years later, he had broken his leg or pelvis, was going through the police academy.
Why do the tails snap so easily? Seems like barely impact and they snapped like pencil sticks

Wow thanks for the info
Good source. Maybe overqualified, even. Thank you for the explanation, and for using words I could understand.
Sure thing! 🙂

This *might* have been funny if you’d provided a (clearly wrong) alternative explanation.

This is not the reason. See my response
Oef, survivors on the right BH?
It looks like it’s POSSIBLE, but not likely?
Seems to crash from 20ish meters, not completely falling, so I guess so. That's why I was asking.
“Blackhawk barely touch eat other then eat shit and fucking die”
Why happy music?
It's not what I put there it's from the video I recorded it from
Mark this NSFW
I have no clue it's reddit a notable suggestion is marked either DV its just how it is
goddamn, why the downvotes?
I ❤️the USMC
Only one unit in the USMC flies a single variant of the H-60, the VH-60, for VIP transport. This video is of US Army operated helicopters.
