Yeah I’m getting downvoted but they factually have a shitload of crashes, I think some people don’t even realise this happens several times per year every year for the last 3 decades

I work with helicopter transmission parts. Helos are insanely complex and literally anything will make them crash.
There are five opposing forces that need to be kept in balance and the pilot can only worry about three at a time.

Reply to comment by cinderparty in Sheriff: Active shooter rumors at Harrison Central ‘completely unfounded’ by lil_professor
Increased risk of someone getting hurt even if it is a prank. Potential evacuations / someone gets hit by a car, trigger happy on edge cop looking for potential shooter firing at the wrong person etc....
This needs to stop.
